The 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Olive Center is offering a new line of Sicilian-style table olives, representing a boutique segment of the California olive industry.
These brine-cured olives, available in Sicilian Spiced, Gourmet Garlic, and Lemon Citrus flavors, were grown and processed in Glenn County and then donated to the Olive Center to be marketed under the campus brand.
West Coast Products, a producer of specialty olive products and brine-cured olives since 1937, grew and cured the olives for nine months, and Penna Gourmet Olives, an Orland gourmet olive producer for more than 30 years, marinated and bottled the olives.
鈥淭his generous donation allows the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Olive Center to branch out and keep the public connected with changes in the California olive industry,鈥 said Dan Flynn, executive director of the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Olive Center.
鈥淭raditionally, the state鈥檚 olive industry has focused on growing, processing and selling black-ripe olives for canning,鈥 Flynn said. 鈥淭he Sicilian-style olives represent an emerging boutique segment of the industry.鈥
