In 1995, two pioneers in the California Olive Oil Renaissance, Bob Singetary and John Silos, purchased the Orland Olive Oil, which had been in business since 1934, and renamed it Stonehouse. Today, Stonehouse California Olive Oil Company is proud to be a part of the ongoing farmer's market revolution in the United States, one in which both farmers and citizens benefit, to the betterment of both. As high quality foods are often expensive to produce, being able to sell directly to the customer enables us to keep our prices as low as possible, practice sound farming, fairness to farmers and workers, while bringing the highest quality products directly to market. Our California extra virgin olive oil is certified extra virgin by the California Olive Oil Council (COOC) under the guidelines of the International Olive Oil Council, and has won many prestigious awards, including gold, silver and bronze medals in the annual L.A. County Fair, which hosts the largest olive oil competition in the world. When you purchase a bottle of Stonehouse California Olive Oil you are literally buying one of the best olive oils in the world. We hope you enjoy it in good health, and with pleasure.
