Casa del Águila Wins 4 Gold Awards
Casa del Águila from Spain has won four Gold Awards at the 2022 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's most prestigious olive oil quality contest.
The company has produced extra virgin olive oil in Andalusia (Spain) from Picual and Manzanilla olives using traditional harvesting methods since 1756.
The 2021/2022 season was marked by significant challenges, the company's CEO said after receiving news of the award.
Last year, we faced a major drought, as well as high temperatures, but thanks to our refrigeration system, we were able to produce excellent EVOOS

Casa del Águila won Gold Awards for its Serie Tauromaquia Limited Edition, Picual Reserva Familiar and Picual Serie Oro Serie Limitada -- all Picual monovarietals -- and the Gordal de Granada Reserva Familiar, a delicate Manzanilla.
We are proud of our great team in Casa del Águila, which has made possible winning 4 gold medals in the most important olive oil competition in the world. It is a very difficult goal to reach.
