4 years agoBy OOT Staff

Olivar del Azaraque, from Spain, has won a Gold Award for its Camino de Anibal brand, a medium-intensity Picual, at the 2020 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition.

This award is recognition of our great harvest and our ongoing effort. We hope it will help to increase our sales in the U.S. as well.

"This award is recognition of our great harvest and our ongoing effort," owner Diego Gomez-Ferrer said. "We hope it will help to increase our sales in the U.S. as well."

In the 2019/20 season, the Castilla-La Mancha-based company produced 70,500 liters of extra virgin olive oil using intensive cultivation.

Gomez-Ferrer added that the 2019/20 season had been one of the best yet for Olivar del Azaraque and the Gold Award was more evidence of that.

"It was a wonderful harvest because it has been a record-year in terms of production with the best quality that we have had in el Olivar del Azaraque too," he said. "We had a very smooth autumn with the absence of freezes and rains that allowed us to have harvest high-quality olives."

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.
