OPG Ivić Triumphs with Delicate Blend at 2025 NYIOOC

OPG Ivić from Croatia has won a Silver Award at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's largest olive oil quality contest.

The Dalmatian producer earned its second World Competition accolade for its Family Ivić brand, a delicate blend.

"Winning a Silver Award at NYIOOC is a great honor and proof of our dedication to quality and passion for olive growing," owner Krešimir Ivić said. The company previously earned a Gold Award in 2023.

"This award motivates us to keep innovating and investing in excellence," he added. "It also strengthens our brand’s presence internationally. We are proud to represent Croatian and Dalmatian traditions on the global stage."

In the 2024/25 crop year, OPG Ivić produced 3,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

"This harvest was challenging due to unpredictable weather, impacting yield and quality," Ivić said. "Yet, our commitment to tradition and modern techniques ensured high standards."

"Winning Silver at NYIOOC makes this effort even more rewarding, proving that persistence and passion lead to excellence," he added.

OPG Ivić is listed in the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
