Durant Olive Oil

Discover the craft behind Durant Olive Mill, where generations of farming and a passion for quality come together to create exceptional extra virgin olive oils. From tasting our award-winning oils to exploring the olive grove and seasonal events, we invite you to experience the flavors, traditions, and stories that make Durant Olive Oil unique.

The Durant Olive Mill

Founded in 2008, Durant Olive Mill has become a leader in Oregon olive oil, home to the only Olioteca in the Pacific Northwest. With 15 acres of olive trees and a state-of-the-art Italian mill, we combine thoughtful sourcing, skilled milling, and a passion for quality to create award-winning extra virgin olive oils.

Our oils have earned multiple honors at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC), reflecting our commitment to craftsmanship and excellence. Each fall, we harvest and mill olives from our own grove alongside carefully sourced fruit from exceptional growers in Northern California, creating oils that showcase the freshness, complexity, and character of each harvest. We invite you to explore our oils, learn about the process, and discover what makes Durant extra virgin olive oil so unique.

Join us each November as we celebrate the olive harvest at Durant’s Olio Nuovo Festival. Inspired by the traditional festas of southern Italy, this annual celebration honors the arrival of fresh, vibrant olio nuovo and the timeless traditions that surround the olive harvest.

Beginning the first weekend of November, the festival brings together our community for weekends of olio nuovo tastings, live music, Durant Vineyards wine tastings, and local food producers, artists, and makers. On November 16th, join us for Community Milling Day, a special opportunity to experience the excitement of harvest and watch fresh olives transform into this year’s first olive oil.

Olive Trees

Since planting our first olive trees in 2008, we have learned which varieties thrive in the Pacific Northwest through years of hands-on farming and observation. Today, we offer a curated selection of Northwest-hardy olive trees that have proven themselves in our own groves and landscape at Durant, from 1-gallon starts to mature, orchard-grown trees. Join our Oil Club to enjoy exclusive shipments of the award-winning olive oils that come from these remarkable trees.
