The Haute-Provence-based company picked up the award for its Heritage of Maison Brémond 1830 brand, a delicate Aglandau.

"We are very happy and proud to receive a Gold Award, especially from the NYIOOC, a renowned competition that receives so many entries from all over the world," marketing manager Casanova Laetitia said.

Maison Brémond 1830 produces extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

Laetitia said that in spite of the high-quality oils produced in 2019, the quantity was quite low.

"This year, the volume was very small because of bad weather conditions," Laetitia said. "We only produce 379 liters of this batch."

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held each spring in New York, is the world's largest and most prestigious olive oil contest and its annual listing of award winners is considered the authoritative guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils.
