"We are elated to be included in this years winners," owner Jeff Martin said.

In the 2019/20 season, Frantoio Grove produced 10,000 liters of organic extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

Martin added that the weather had provided some challenges, especially during the harvest period, but his team was able to persevere through it and produce a top-quality oil.
