Opg Lucio won the coveted Gold Awards for its Lucio Oblica & Šoltanka blend and Lucio Šoltanka, a medium Levantinka monovarietal.

The company produces high-quality extra virgin olive oil using traditional harvesting methods.

The 2021/2022 season was marked by an unusually dry climate, the company's owner said, after receiving news of the award.

It was a very dry year, and the olives suffered a lot but the rain came at the last moment.
