Istrian producer E Pluribus Unum has won two Gold Awards at the 2022 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's most prestigious olive oil quality contest.

Our passion and sense of responsibility for upholding the legacy of quality our predecessors have set for us are exceeded only by our gratitude upon receiving this recognition.

Situated on the northwestern Croatian peninsula, the company earned the awards for its Hedonist and Istriana brands, two medium blends. E Pluribus Unum previously earned two Gold Awards at the 2021 edition of the competition as well.

"Our team is humbled and honored to receive the Gold Award for both of our brands this year," owner Rob Anderson said.

"Our passion and sense of responsibility for upholding the legacy of quality our predecessors have set for us are exceeded only by our gratitude upon receiving this recognition," he added.

In the 2021/22 crop year, E Pluribus Unum produced 650 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

For Anderson, this year's award was especially gratifying after a tough harvest. "Every year presents its own challenges, but we learn from them and improve year after year," he said.
