Farm Details
About the Olive Oil
Made in California, enjoyed everywhere. Brightland's olives are lovingly grown on family farms in California’s Central Coast and Valley, where the very best soil and climate meet sustainable farming practices. These olives are carefully harvested at peak freshness and cold-pressed by a master miller within hours to ensure you get the most flavorful experience possible. Every bottle of Brightland olive oil reflects our commitment to quality and the dedicated farmers behind each harvest.
About the Vinegar
Brightland’s vinegars are lovingly crafted on a small family farm in California’s Central Coast. To make our fruit-forward vinegars, local produce is handpicked and prepared for each batch. The fruit is then fermented for 8 weeks to extract a deep, aromatic flavor. Both vinegars are raw and double-fermented.

From The Tastemakers
A Great Gift!
This set was a gift for my mother in law. She loved it. I was nicely presented and the taste was amazing. Great gift!

These were a hit!
Over the holidays, I gifted The Holiday Splendor Gift sets to 3 friends. They LOVED them so much I purchased 3 Mini Essentials sets as hostess gifts when we attended holiday parties. These were a hit! Usually we bring a bottle of wine, but so does everyone else. And to tell you the truth, it was less expensive than the wine we usually bring. I will be ordering more of these beautiful bottles for gifts throughout the year.

Beautiful and tasty!
Beautiful and tasty! I ordered 16 sets of the mini essentials as gifts for staff and neighbors. I thought they made the perfect introduction to Brightland products and they did not disappoint. The sets come in beautiful and thick corrugated boxes making an excellent first impression. Then you open them to find art! With a special product inside. Makes for the perfect gift.

All products tried (we've tried most of the Brightland olive oils as well as the vinegars and honeys over the past several years) are incredibly smooth with delicate, nuanced flavors. Your olive oils add enormously to a wide variety of foods. Your vinegars and honeys are superb. Each has become a staple in our kitchen, and we wouldn't want to be without them. Brightland products also make great gifts. Simply the best!
