Società Agricola Swiss Olives has won a Gold Award for its organic robust blend, Olea Prilis, at the 2021 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's most prestigious olive oil quality contest.

We feel proud of our work and grateful for all the great help that we received from so many people. There are too many to thank here, but without each ones' contribution, we would not have made it. We are honored and excited.

In the 2020/21 harvest season, the company produced 2,000 liters of organic extra virgin olive oil in Tuscany using traditional harvesting methods.

"We feel proud of our work and grateful for all the great help that we received from so many people," owner Fabrizio Ladi Bucciolini said. "There are too many to thank here, but without each ones' contribution, we would not have made it. We are honored and excited."

Ladi Bucciolini added that the award was a particularly gratifying conclusion to their excellent harvest.

"We had a good harvest, with volumes as anticipated and high quality," he said. "Harvest time is always earlier, though and lots of extra work is needed to keep the olives cool."
