Bought a bottle ($5.99) once in 2008 and hadn't been able to find them since until a few weeks ago. The oil is very different than most extra virgin olive oils. It has a yellow color and this earthy/grassy flavor. I've tried various olive oils and can't find anything quite like it. I bought a couple of bottles upon their return, although the price had gone up. The corked bottle was also replaced with a screw top. My wife was asking me to see if they had returned, as I didn't notice them for months. The last batch seemed to be a bit cloudy, but the taste/smell was the same as I remembered. It's been sitting in my cabinet for a few weeks, and the cloudiness seems to be reduced, although there's some sediment at the bottom now. My wife and I talked to the owner, and when he has stock he has a table at the Kensington Farmer's Market about every other Sunday. Apparently the owner has the farm in Orland, but he lives in El Cerrito. I couldn't figure out how anyone could make money selling a few dozen bottles of olive oil by driving out 150 miles each trip. He must just bring over a large quantity of the bottles and then sells a few of them at the market on a particular Sunday. read more

He's back! His name is Dennis Town. I saw him today at the Kensington farmer's market. I think he was a little embarrassed by my enthusiastic response to his return. He told me he hadn't been there for 7 months because he'd run out of olive oil. He has a new batch. It's $9.99 for a 500 ML bottle, still a bargain. I got his card, so I can update his contact information. read more
