The estate grown olive varieties we selected for our Frate Sole Extra Virgin Olive Oil are predominantly Tuscan varieties –- Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino. Our other plantings are also Italians --Taggiasca from Liguria and Coratina from Puglia -- as well as some olives of Spanish and French origin, including Arbequina, Boutellian, Aglandau and Grossane. The fruit is hand-picked and cold-processed.

We have an organic orchard and a state-of-the-art olive mill. We produce several different olive oils, and also offer public milling, bottling, and consulting services.

First Texas Olive Oil Co. is located on The Bella Vista Ranch in the Texas Hill Country town of Wimberley. Each Fall we harvest and mill our estate-grown olives on a modern Italian olive press to create the highest quality oil.
