In 1986 Karen Bond and her husband Malcolm bought a 10 acre almond orchard in Winters to fulfill a dream of living in the country. At the time they never would have guessed that they would be selling prized olive oil made from trees imported from Italy.
After removing their almond trees, they were visiting Sicily where Karen tried freshly pressed olive oil for the first time and she fell in love.
More than 15 years later Bondolio produces some of the most sought after and award winning olive oil in the region. It’s even used by two of the Bay Area’s most famous restaurants (listen to find out who!)
Karen and Malcolm do all this while also running the medical technology company, Cedaron, in Davis which they founded in 1990.
Listen to hear all about their fascinating journey to making super fresh Italian inspired olive oil.
