Discover the Excellence of Lucca Olive Oil at Sanger Wines

Sanger Wines Olive Oil and Vinegar

The Sanger Family Olive Grove is the only olive grove in the United States exclusively planted to the Lucca variety. Our 1,700 trees are planted on 10 acres and have been producing high-quality olives for more than a decade.

All work is done by hand and the olives are pressed locally. Following in pursuit of the purest traditional olive oil, the Marianello oils are all first-pressed, extra virgin. Oil produced from the Sanger Family Olive Grove has been the recipient of many awards and we are certified by the California Olive Oil Council.

100% Lucca Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Grown in our olive grove right here in the Santa Ynez Valley, this 100% extra-virgin olive oil is intended as a finishing oil to enhance, not overpower food.

This unusual variety is ideally suited for the Central Coast climate. In addition to its big peppery flavor, Lucca thrives in the temperate climate of the Santa Ynez Valley and produces an abundant harvest.

The olives are milled at Figueroa Farms in the Santa Ynez Valley, where they are ground to a paste, then malaxed (the industry’s term for “mixed”) to enable the smaller olive globules to meld into larger ones. The paste is then put into a centrifuge to separate the oil from the solids before being filtered and rested in barrels to settle and clear.

Indulge in Excellence: Aged Balsamic Vinegar Selection at Sanger Wines

In addition to our Extra Virgin Lucca Olive Oil and flavored vinegars, we also offer a 25-year aged balsamic vinegar and two enticing flavored balsamic vinegars.

The Cask 25 Balsamic Vinegar

The Cask 25 Balsamic Vinegar is imported from Modena, Italy, the home of true aceto balsamico. This traditional balsamic vinegar is produced by aging it in a series of progressively smaller casks for 25 years. Evaporation over time increases the mellowness, complexity and density of the vinegar, so the longer it ages, the more intense it becomes.

Flavored Olive Oils

We offer four of our favorite flavors: Basil, Garlic, Truffle, and Jalapeño. Each will add a distinctive finishing touch to a dish, or make a delicious impression all on its own.

For our flavored oils, the Arbequina olive is used as a foundation for the flavors. This olive has a sweet zest that enhances the aroma and taste of these flavored olive oils. These flavored oils are produced by a small family operation here in California, as devoted to olive oil as we are.

The Sanger Estate Olive Grove

Oliver Harvest at Sanger Wines

The Sanger Family Olive Grove is the only olive grove in the United States exclusively planted to the Lucca variety. Our 1,700 trees are planted on 11 acres and have been producing high quality olives for more than a decade.

The choice of Lucca is no coincidence. This variety of olive thrives in the Central Coast climate, particularly in the temperate embrace of the Santa Ynez Valley. Not only does it boast a bold peppery flavor, but the trees yield olives abundant in oil for their size, making them ideal for the creation of our exceptional olive oil.

The journey from tree to bottle unfolds at Figueroa Farms in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Here, our olives are expertly milled, transforming into a paste that undergoes meticulous malaxation—the art of blending. A centrifuge then works its magic, separating the oil from the solids, followed by careful filtration and a serene resting period in barrels for clarity.

Introducing our 100% extra-virgin Lucca olive oil, a finishing touch crafted to elevate your culinary creations. Whether drizzled atop dishes or blended into a vinaigrette, its exquisite flavor is bound to enhance every bite.

For our flavored oils, we turn to the sweet zest of the Arbequina olive as the foundation. Produced by a devoted family operation right here in California, these infused oils mirror our passion for olive oil, adding an extra layer of sophistication to your culinary repertoire.
