Cultivar in the Spotlight
Coratina
Coratina olives are widely grown in the southern region of Puglia in Italy. This variety is known for producing an oil that is robust and flavorful, with a fruity aroma and a slightly bitter taste. The olives are typically harvested when green and unripe to produce a high-quality extra-virgin olive oil rich in polyphenols, which have been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of heart disease.
Did you know?
Crafting an award-winning olive oil takes determination, skill and obsessive attention to detail. Every stage of the process, from harvest to bottle, must be perfectly managed to produce one of the world’s best olive oils.
Fruitness
Every good olive oil needs to have the aroma of fresh fruit. Olives are fruits, after all. Award-winning extra virgin olive oils smell fresh and fruity.
Bitterness
Bitterness indicates the presence of health-promoting compounds like polyphenols and adds complexity and balance to the flavor profile.
Pungency
Pungency is that peppery sensation on the throat caused by the healthy phenolic compounds in fresh, high-quality olive oils.
Harmony
The perfect balance of fruity, bitter and pungent notes indicates a high-quality oil that can elevate the flavors of any dish.
Complexity
Exceptional extra virgin olive oils send us on an olfactory and gustatory journey through a complex bouquet of pleasing sensations.
Persistence
The lingering taste and aroma of well-crafted olive oils give the taster time to reflect on the fruity notes and complex subtleties.
People Behind the Winning Brands
Miguel Miralles
Balearic Islands-based Treurer earned its second-straight World Competition accolade for a medium-intensity Arbequina.
“Obtaining a Gold Award at the NYIOOC is a great success for our olive oil, as it recognizes the effort made during a whole year to obtain world-class olive oil,” said owner Miguel Miralles. “Every year, we have focused on improving the quality of our olive oil. In particular, in the last harvest, we managed to reduce the time from harvesting to oil production to just one hour, which has resulted in a significant increase in the organoleptic properties of Treurer olive oil.”
