Oregon farm produces quality EVOO in cool climate of Pacific Northwest

It’s about as far from the Mediterranean as you can get, but experiments in producing quality olive oil from cooler weather olive tree varieties are showing promise in western Oregon, USA, where David and Carmen Lawrence have evaluated dozens of cultivars over the past decade. Owners of Oregon Olive Trees in Amity, Oregon, the Lawrences have successfully produced multiple runs of 100% Oregon-grown and Oregon-milled extra virgin olive oil. Their experiments with EVOO production began in 2008.
