The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
McEvoy Ranch was founded in 1991 in Petaluma, California by Nan McEvoy. The ranch produces extra virgin olive oil. McEvoy focused on small-batch, single-estate production when most American olive oil came from imports. The operation uses olives grown on their own land and controls every step from harvest to bottling. Today McEvoy Ranch remains a leader in premium California olive oil. The brand ranks among the top olive oil producers in North America. It appears across 21,133 tracked brands and ranks best in Food, Beverages & Snacks at number thirteen.
