Olives From Orland, California: Where Ours Come From
A lot of the olives on grocery shelves come from somewhere else. Ours come from a farm in Orland, California, and they have since 1951.
Where Orland is
Orland sits in the Northern Sacramento Valley, north of Sacramento. Maurice Penna's parents bought the land that is now M&CP Farms the year they moved to California from Australia. Maurice and his wife Cindy run it today, on about 100 acres of olive production, processing and packing.
One family, start to finish
The same family grows the olives, cures them, spices them and packs the jars. Maurice learned the old ways from a food technologist named Elton Develter, who spent his life studying how olives are grown and processed around the world. The Pennas still use those Old World curing and spicing methods, with modern technology to keep every batch safe and consistent.
That is the whole idea behind our label. California's Everyday Specialty, not a once-a-year condiment.
