1 (of 2) Stella Cadente's Founders

http://www.americanfeast.com
Stella Cadente Olive Oil was founded by the husband & wife team of Sue Ellery and Tom Hunter in 1999. Their olives are grown without pesticides or herbicides & hand-picked at the couple's Shooting Star Ranch in the lovely Anderson Valley of Mendocino County, California.

In each of the last 7 years the couple's olive oils have won some of the world's most prestigious oil awards, including two "Best of Show" awards in international competition and numerous Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals. The 2007 L'Autunno Blend Extra Virgin oil received a Gold Medal at the 8th Annual Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition, formerly known as Oils of the World. The 2007 Persian Lime oil captured a Silver the second year in a row. In 2006, they were honored with a "Best of Show" award in an international competition for the packaging and design for the entire line of oils.

American Feast's Doug Ferber caught up with Sue & Tom in San Francisco at a gourmet food show they were attending and got a terrific 2-part interview.
