The company produces extra virgin olive oil in the eastern province of Maldonado using traditional methods. Agroland S.A. earned the Gold Award for its Colinas de Garzon Olio Novo 2020 brand, a delicate blend.

"Winning this award is a proud moment both for the company and for the entire team," plant manager Victor Rodriguez said.

He added that the 2019/2020 crop year had been a challenging one as Uruguay was one of the first countries to harvest olives and produce oil during the Covid-19 pandemic.
