About Desert Gold: Crafting Liquid Gold in the Heart of Imperial Valley California
In the sun-soaked desert along California’s southern border, Desert Gold is proud to be locally owned and operated in Imperial County. At our state-of-the-art olive mill, perched on the lush CalEVOO ranch, we nurture over 200 acres of thriving olive orchards, representing 20 distinct varieties.
A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Our dedication to crafting the highest-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil begins with a promise: every olive starts its journey to excellence within 12 hours of harvest. From there, our oil is preserved in stainless steel tanks and bottled in premium dark UV-blocking glass, protecting its vibrant flavors and abundant health benefits.
We take pride in offering EVOO that is 100% natural, free from artificial flavors or additives. But our mission goes beyond the bottle. As part of our zero-waste initiative, we compost post-milling olive pumice to enrich our soil and are experimenting with innovative ways to repurpose olive mill wastewater and leftover byproducts.
Why Choose Imperial Valley EVOO?
Our olive oil is a true reflection of the land, sun, and care that goes into every bottle. With a focus on sustainability, premium quality, and local craftsmanship, we invite you to experience the finest California Extra Virgin Olive Oil, crafted from orchard to table.
Packed with Superior Nutrients for a Healthier You
At Desert Gold, we take pride in producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) that stands out—not just for its rich flavor, but for its remarkable nutritional content. Thanks to our unique desert climate in the Imperial Valley, our orchards produce olives packed with higher levels of key nutrients and bioactive compounds compared to most olive oil brands.
Why Our Olive Oil is Superior
1. Higher Polyphenol Content
Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and support heart health, and our EVOO contains significantly higher levels than average olive oils. This includes:
- Oleocanthal, a compound celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Hydroxytyrosol, known for its cardiovascular benefits and its ability to protect against oxidative stress.
With levels that exceed industry standards, our EVOO offers more health-promoting polyphenols in every bottle.
2. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFAs)
Our EVOO is rich in oleic acid, the most beneficial type of healthy fat, known to reduce inflammation, support brain function, and promote cardiovascular health. Compared to other brands, our oils consistently test higher in these heart-healthy fats.
3. Natural Vitamin E (Tocopherols)
Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, is abundant in our olive oil. It supports your skin, immune system, and cells while protecting against oxidative stress—making it a vital nutrient for overall well-being.
4. Phytosterols for Cholesterol Health
Phytosterols, plant compounds that help lower cholesterol, are found in abundance in Desert Gold EVOO, giving your heart extra support in every drop.
5. Squalene for Skin and Anti-Aging
Desert Gold EVOO boasts higher levels of squalene, a nutrient prized for its antioxidant and skin-protecting properties. This natural compound supports skin hydration and helps fight signs of aging.
6. A Rich Blend of Carotenoids and Flavonoids
Our olive oil is packed with natural carotenoids, like beta-carotene, which promote eye health and immune strength, as well as flavonoids that provide additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Crafted for Maximum Nutrition
Our meticulous process ensures the nutrients stay intact:
- Harvested at peak ripeness.
- Milled within 12 hours to lock in freshness and nutritional value.
- Stored in stainless steel tanks and packaged in premium dark UV-blocking bottles to preserve potency.
This careful attention to detail means our EVOO consistently outperforms other brands in both flavor and nutrient content.
