The Sicily, Italy-baed producer won a Gold Award for its Centonze Case di Latomie P.G.I. Sicily, a medium blend. The company produces extra virgin olive oil from Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla, and Cerasuola olives using traditional methods.

The impressive win comes despite struggles with low production from the company's 9,500 trees, owner Nino Centonze said after receiving news of the award.

"I feel so excited and very happy," Centonze said.
