After visiting Bondolio Olive Oil in the late summer, I was hired to shoot their harvest. The new images will be used on their website, coming soon. I worked with Roberta Klugman, Public Relations Consultant, to help develop a story that began with a sense of place. As I explored their farm and watched their hand-picking process for harvest I realized the sense of place here is very special.
The first thing we photographed was the Bondolio bike statue during sunrise on harvest morning. I got lucky with this beautiful sky. The bike statue watches all the cyclists in Davis, CA ride by the farm!
Karen showed me the three types of olives that grow in their orchard. They are picked by hand, inspected with care, and milled immediately on-premise with highly controlled processes.
Look at the ownership pride in their orchard.
Check out Karen giving us a thumbs up for one of the best harvests!
Here is her famous Italian bean soup that I prepared with olio nuovo! Luckily you can find the recipe on her website.
Find their oil on their website as well as in many markets in the US.
