The California producer earned three Gold Awards for its organic delicate Tuscan Blend, organic medium Arbequina Blend and organic medium Picholine Blend. The company also earned a Silver Award for its organic delicate Minerva Blend.
"I am so immensely grateful, surprised, and full of pride for myself and all of the dedicated staff here at Goldridge Organic Farms for yet another year of sweeping Gold Awards," owner Brooke Hazen said.
"I am humbled to be ranked number six in the World Rankings and number three in the United States," he added. "I want to thank the staff for all the long hard hours, and my family."
Goldridge Organic Farm produced 13,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods in the 2024/25 crop year.
"Actually, this year was quite smooth during harvest," Hazen said. "We had an 'on-year' with record yields."
"The ripening phase was on time, the rains not too disruptive, and the threat of early frost absent," he added. "We were quite efficient in harvest, enabling us to create the freshest oil. The press equipment was humming along perfectly."
Goldridge Organic Farms is listed in the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
