A bottle of Heritage extra virgin olive oil from Ojai, California, grown and pressed by fourth-generation farmer Philip Aquith, with a hand-written personalized label added at a Los Angeles workshop. The oil is a blend of rare tree varieties, picked and pressed by hand for freshness and a vivid green, peppery character. It comes in an embossed gift box, which makes it a gift for a host, a cook or someone marking an occasion. Against ordinary supermarket olive oil it trades on single-origin provenance and the personal label rather than on volume.
