2010 Silo Extra Virgin Olive OilThis extra-virgin olive oil commemorates the Silo, a century-old campus landmark and the site of the first Picnic Day in 1909. The Silo extra-virgin olive oil is produced from superior quality olive oil donated by award-winning California olive oil producers and blended with UC Davis olive oil. Tasting notes:Balanced, buttery flavors with grassy, floral and nutty notes. Medium bodied. Mild peppery finish. Price: $12 |
2010 Gunrock Extra Virgin Olive OilThis intense extra-virgin olive oil salutes the feisty spirit of campus mascot Gunrock, a thoroughbred brought to UC Davis in 1921 to help supply high-quality stock for the U.S. Army Cavalry. To honor this campus icon, the UC Davis Olive Center selected a spirited blend of olive varieties from award-winning California olive oil producers along with olives grown at UC Davis. Gunrock lovers will appreciate the fresh flavor and spicy finish this blend delivers. Tasting notes:Fresh, grassy, green banana and ripe olive flavors with a strong kick down the stretch. Price: $12 |
