Sutter Buttes Olive Oil Company is refreshing its brand with the launch of a completely redesigned look that identifies the products inside the bottles and jars as those of Sutter Buttes Natural and Artisan Foods – an identity that better reflects the company’s current range, which has grown far beyond the locally grown olive oils that started the company off in 2009. That was when Arek Kazmierczak and Alka Kumar, husband and wife, settled into their facility in California’s olive-growing region about an hour’s drive north of Sacramento, the state’s capital city. “Sutter Buttes is the smallest mountain range in the world, and the facility is right at the base of it,” said Sutter Buttes Sales Manager Jennifer Phillips. “It really is, it’s like two peaks. It’s cute.”

The company started as an olive ranch, and as it has grown, its product range has expanded to include balsamic vinegars, jams, mustards and tapenades, and Sutter Buttes has partnered with local growers to source ingredients. “We try to source local ingredients as much as possible,” Phillips said. “Today, the product range includes everything to go on a California cuisine table – the olive oils, the tapenades, the salsas, mustards and jams, with an emphasis on local, bright, fresh flavors. Everything is still small-batch, handmade…. In spite of our growth, we want to stick to what made us grow.”
Eventually, the company outgrew its facility at the base of Sutter Buttes and, this last January, moved 10 miles down the road to a 10,000 square foot plant in Yuba City that has space for a new bottling line for the oils and vinegars, Kumar said. “We specialize in infusions. We have 18 flavors of olive oils. We use all fresh, local fruit – peppers for our oils, citrus to infuse all of our oils and vinegars, so that if you pour a fig balsamic on your salad, it will actually have pieces of fig in it,” she added.
Sutter Buttes, a member of the California Olive Oil Council, which certifies the oils according to its rigorous standards, continues to specialize in direct distribution to independent specialty stores, although it does also have a line of products called Everyday Gourmet that goes to chain stores including Cost Plus and Lucky’s Stores. “They’re concentrating on their growth, looking at flavor profiles, including drink mixers and guacamole starter,” Phillips said. “It seemed like an area where there was a need.”
