Tuscany’s Fattoria Triboli Wins Gold Award at NYIOOC

Italian producer Fattoria Triboli has won its first-ever Gold Award at the 2021 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's most prestigious olive oil quality contest.

We are a new company on the market for only two years. It is a huge honor for us to be one of the best olive oils in the world. It pushes us to do better and better.

Luigi Viscardi, CEO

In the 2020/21 crop year, the company produced 3,800 liters of extra virgin olive oil in Tuscany using traditional methods. Fattoria Triboli earned the Gold Award for its medium blend.

"We are a new company on the market for only two years," Luigi Viscardi, the company's CEO, said. "It is a huge honor for us to be one of the best olive oils in the world. It pushes us to do better and better."

Like many other producers in the central Italian region, Viscardi attributed some of his company's success to the excellent harvesting conditions in Tuscany.

"The 2020 harvest for us was fantastic. The production of olives was excellent and of quality," Viscardi said, adding the company's biggest challenge was to "install the new company oil mill and be able to use it well. For being its first year, we are very happy with the result, but we know we can improve."

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held each spring in New York, is the world's largest and 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.
