And after observing the patterns of the 2018 Harvest year, our guides have made themselves clear - and we are responding accordingly. After an unusually warm winter and a spring freeze, our inaugural olives - the Arbequina and Arbosana - were slow to bloom compared to some of their California peers. And so, to ensure the best tasting olive oils, we have decided to welcome two new varietals for our 2019 editions of ALIVE and AWAKE. [AWAKE](/content/collections/shop/products/awake/index.html) will feature California’s Coratina olive - bright with floral notes and a bit more pungency. [ALIVE](/content/collections/shop/products/alive/index.html) will be a blend of Coratina and California's Frantoio - smooth with notes of pear. Both will retain the fundamental characteristics of our first editions: green and grassy, early harvest, with a high smoke point. AWAKE will compliment cozy dishes, and ALIVE vibrant fare. And, most importantly, they taste phenomenal. We hope you appreciate our decision to follow the sun in favor of the best tasting California olive oil. Happy tasting, cooking and dressing - we can’t wait to see what you make of them. If you have feedback, questions or would just like to chat, we’d love to hear from you. Cheers to a fresh new year, Aishwarya and The Brightland Team ## Reading next [The art of celebration with Hudson Wilder](/content/blogs/archive/the-art-of-celebration-with-hudson-wilder/index.html) [You are invited: Brightland x The Line Melrose After Hours in LA](/content/blogs/archive/you-are-invited-brightland-x-the-line-melrose-after-hours/index.html) ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown ## Loved by 600,000+ Customers ## Free Shipping on Orders $90+ ## Beautifully Packaged ## California-Grown brightland.co # brightland.co is blocked This page has been blocked by an extension - Try disabling your extensions.
