The tasting room at Lodestar Farms showcases the rich history of Mission olives in the Oroville area, and the unique growing conditions that make the region the only place in the state that can claim its own flavor and style of olive oil. Oroville is considered California’s only olive oil province, as it is the only region in the state with a history of consistently producing the same style of olive oil.
