3-Liter Box Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Séka Hills

2021 Harvest Everyday Olive Oil from California

Tasting Notes

We don't like to play favorites, but Séka Hills is one of the olive oils you'll find in our pantries at all times. This California-milled oil is one of our go-to EVOOs for everyday use —and, now it's available in a 3-liter box with a pour spout!

This extra virgin olive oil made entirely from the Arbequina cultivar is well-balanced with aromas of fresh green apples and a fruity flavor profile that boasts hints of artichoke and pepper. A medium-intensity oil.

How to Use

Use Séka Hills Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sautéing, frying, or finishing. Ideal for vinaigrettes, pasta, mashed potatoes, or to finish grilled vegetables. Try using it to fry your eggs in the morning. Plus, this estate-made oil is a great dipping oil.
