Today, we celebrate one of California’s iconic crops and the people who make it possible. California leads the nation in olive production, thanks to its favorable climate, fertile growing regions, and the hard work of dedicated growers and farmworkers.
A special recognition goes to olive growers, farmworkers, processors, olive oil producers, packers, distributors, retailers, and everyone throughout the olive supply chain who helps bring high-quality California-grown olives to tables across the country.
Whether enjoyed as a snack, added to favorite recipes, or transformed into premium olive oil, California olives are a testament to the skill, dedication, and passion of the people behind them.
Thank you for helping California continue to produce some of the finest olives and olive oil in the world.
