All of the olive oil<br />
When locals think of olive oil, often we think of producers<br />
north of Cuesta Grade. But did you know <strong>SLO</strong> has its<br />
own olive farm and oil producer right out on Price Canyon<br />
Road? Will Carlton and Chris Anderson have been farming<br />
ten acres of olives since 1998—and have won some very<br />
serious awards—but many local folks don’t know about<br />
Tiber Canyon Ranch, or that they offer olive oil and vinegar<br />
tastings by appointment.<br />
My family drives out for a tasting with one-on-one access<br />
to Anderson and Tiber Canyon oils and vinegars, plus<br />
her delicious just-baked sourdough for dipping. She gives<br />
us each a little cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as well as<br />
Mandarin Tangerine, Meyer Lemon, and Yuzu co-milled<br />
oils made with real citrus. We also taste Tiber Canyon<br />
Ranch Yuzu Golden Balsamic vinegar and Blackberry Dark<br />
Balsamic vinegar.<br />
Everything is pure, full-bodied, fresh and balanced. I think<br />
about how most of our meals at home begin with olive oil in<br />
a pan, and how much I take it for granted until I taste it, in<br />
all its green and peppery glory, in a setting like this. <strong>SLO</strong> <strong>LIFE</strong><br />
