The Umbrian producer earned a Gold Award for its Sine Die brand, a medium blend of Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino and Leccio del Corno olives.

"This competition is an excellent means of publicizing our dynamic and ambitious reality," owner Dianmichele Gnavolini said. "We are certain that it will succeed in giving our products the right prestige."

"We are also certain that it will identify an important open door for an interesting and credible market, as well as one that is very attentive to quality products," he added.

In the 2022/23 crop year, Gnavolini Raccolta Sapore produced 5,500 liters of extra virgin olive oil. "This past season's harvest was one of the best in recent years," Gnavolini said.

"We concentrated on pressing the olives twice a day, allowing no more than four hours to pass after harvesting, filtering the same day and putting the resulting oil in barrels under inert Argon gas," he added. "In this way, we ensured extreme quality and optimal preservation of the product."

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition held each spring in New York, is the world's most prestigious olive oil contest. Its annual listing of award winners is considered the authoritative guide to the year's best extra virgin olive oils.
