5 years agoBy Olive Oil Times

Molino del Genil S.L. logged its fourth consecutive year of wins at the 2020 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's most prestigious olive oil quality contest.

These awards are very important for our company. We are focused on improved sales in the international markets and these mentions help us to become better known.

The company, which produces extra virgin olive oil from 20 million trees using machine methods in Andalusia, Spain, was recognized for two oils in the 2019/2020 season. Its Premium Picual, a medium Picual, snagged a Gold Award and its Premium Arbequina, a medium Arbequina, took Silver.

The company struggled with unseasonably high temperatures in the fall, said María Dobao of the quality department.

"The early 2019 harvest was very difficult to obtain a good quality in oils because in our region (Seville, Spain) it was too hot in October. For this reason our production manager had to work with many small batches of fruit to obtain these premium oils in Molino del Genil," Dobao said.

Dobao said the company was very pleased with the awards, and noted that such recognition can help boost sales in the world market.

"These awards are very important for our company. We are focused on improved sales in the international markets and these mentions help us to become better known," she said.

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.
