The company produces organic extra virgin olive oil in San Diego County, California, from Frantoio, Coratina, Leccino, Manzanillo and Pendolino olives using traditional methods.

Pitchouline earned the Silver Award for its organic medium blend. Last year, the southern California producers earned a Gold Award for the blend.

"We are once again honored to win at the NYIOOC," owners Fabien and Jeanene Tremoulet said. "We thrive to maintain the highest quality and integrity of our soil, trees, olives and milling process in order to offer a healthy, intricate and delicate extra virgin olive oil."

"While the 2020 harvest was a low-producing year, we did not face serious challenges," they added. "Southern California gave us an ideal climate during the entire season."
