Situated in Campania, the company once again celebrated an award for its Fontana Lupo brand, a medium-intensity blend of Frantoio, Ortice and Caiazzana varieties harvested in October.

"I am very happy to have won the Gold Award for the fifth consecutive year," said owner Giovanni Petrazzuoli. "It is a great pride to receive this award as a small company in the municipality of Ruviano."

In the 2023/24 crop year, Olivicola Petrazzuoli produced 5,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

"We had difficulties due to the climatic conditions last year, which alternated drought with strong and long periods of rain," Petrazzuoli said.
