Durant Olive Oil
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 Oil Health
Extra virgin olive oil has been celebrated for centuries as a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, valued for its rich flavor and natural health benefits. Adding high-quality olive oil to your daily routine is a simple way to enjoy the benefits while bringing more flavor and nourishment to everyday meals.
Benefits of extra virgin olive oil include:
- A source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet
- Naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that help protect the oil’s quality and freshness
- A flavorful, nutrient-rich alternative to other cooking fats and dressings
- A simple way to incorporate more plant-based ingredients into your daily meals
- A versatile ingredient for cooking, finishing, dipping, and pairing
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.
Have olive trees of your own? Bring your harvest to Community Milling Day and experience the tradition of milling as we press your olives into your very own fresh olive oil.
