talking about our olive oil ... "Stella Cadente's Blood Orange Oil is a treasure - wonderfully fragrant with undertones from the citrus orchard. Composed of oranges pressed with olives, it is not an infused oil, but a carefully balanced oil with absolutely no bitterness. It is the only oil I use in my orange and ginger cake (Olive Oil from Tree to Table). Try it on a beets, Roquefort, and arugula salad or drizzle it over grilled fish or roast pork." Peggy Knickerbocker, cookbook author "the startling deliciousness of newly pressed and year-fresh olive oil" as described in L.A. Times Cookstuff "Stella Cadente olive oils are great because they use the best fruit and they know how to transform them into fantastic oils. I'm a devoted fan! ... Stella Cadente winning the Best of Show at the Oils of the World Competition is equivalent to winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards..." John Ash - Chef, Author, Culinary Director Fetzer and Bonterra Vineyards "Stella Cadente Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pale green with yellow tones. The aroma is very fresh, with an expansive and complex 'nose'. The predominant flavor of new olives is accompanied by notes of mown hay, tomato leaves and aromatic herbs. The taste corresponds with the smell; the oil is very lively, with a good texture and pleasingly bitter and spicy notes. The finish is long and persistent." Rated #1 California Oil in Taste Tests - Slowfood Editore, Italia

Stella Cadente Olive Oil was founded in 1999 by Sue Ellery and Tom Hunter. Our olives are grown pesticide-free and hand picked at Shooting Star Ranch located in the Anderson Valley of Mendocino County, California.
The many shooting stars during the summer months in Anderson Valley inspired us to name our olive oil Stella Cadente. Stella Cadente means "shooting star" in Italian. Our love of good Italian olive oil and our beautiful starry nights gave our extra virgin olive oil its honorary Italian name!
