The Apulian producer earned the World Competition accolades for its organic medium-intensity Coratina and organic medium Ogliarola Garganica brands. Both brands also earned Gold Awards at the 2023 NYIOOC.
"We are over the moon. All of our hard work and dedication are once again validated and awarded," said owner Diana Maiola.
"This makes me want to continue educating people on the difference between oils of distinction and ordinary oils of no value," she added. "I want to grow awareness and share the amazing flavors of our oil."
In the 2023/24 crop year, Domus Pacis produced 3,400 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.
Maiola said increased production and shipping costs, along with "drought-like conditions" from June to August, were the most significant challenges the company faced in producing its award-winning oils.
