Video: watch the 2010 California olive harvest in action

by on January 13, 2011

Nearly 18 acres of olive trees are planted on the Jordan estate. All four varieties of olives (Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino of Italian origin and the Spanish Arbequina) are blended to create our vintage-dated extra virgin olive oil, which is released each year at our Spring at Jordan event. Here are a few scenes from our 2010 olive harvest. Stay tuned for Chef Todd Knoll’s harvest report video.
