About Corto Olive Co.

Rooted in its Italian heritage, inspired by innovation, and committed to its values of transparency and quality, Corto Olive Co. has been producing the highest quality, freshest, 100% California olive oil since 2005. Made from beautifully fresh olives grown in California groves, the oil is expertly blended by Corto’s Master Miller to achieve a stunningly bright flavor profile that professional chefs have relied on for over a decade to enhance their favorite dishes. The Cortopassi family, owners of both Corto and Stanislaus, has long specialized in creating premium California-grown tomatoes and olive oil for discerning restaurateurs inspired by their Italian roots and elevated through innovation. For over 80 years, Stanislaus has specialized in fresh-packing premium tomatoes for America’s finest Italian restaurants and pizzerias, while Corto has elevated olive oil through innovative techniques like cold-extraction and FlavorLock™ packaging. All Corto olive oils are cold-extracted just hours after harvest in the Fall and stored in climate-controlled cellars until they are fulfilled upon order, ensuring superior freshness and quality with every use.
