Welcome to the UC Davis Olive Center
The UC Davis Olive Center is the world’s leading university-based program dedicated to olives and olive oil. We work by advancing research, education, and outreach to improve quality, profitability, and sustainability for California olive growers and processors.
Bringing together faculty, researchers, advisors and students, the Center serves as a scientific anchor for the olive industry — conducting independent research, training future leaders, and translating knowledge into practice.
Under the leadership of Faculty Director Dr. Selina C. Wang, the Center is expanding research in olive production systems and sustainability, advancing analytical methods to safeguard quality and authenticity, and strengthening workforce development — while continuing to deliver science-based knowledge to growers, processors, and the public.
