Girone Awarded Gold at 2020 NYIOOC

4 years agoBy OOT Staff

The Puglia-based producer, Girone, has won a Gold Award for its Coratina monovarietal at the 2020 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition.

Winning such a prestigious award is really important to us. It makes us feel proud and makes us understand that by working hard, we get results.

Maria Bisceglie, owner

In the 2019/20 season, the company produced 7,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods. Girone picked up the award for its GangaLupo, a medium Coratina.

"Winning such a prestigious award is really important to us," owner Maria Bisceglie said. "It makes us feel proud and makes us understand that by working hard, we get results."

Producing award-winning extra virgin olive oil in Puglia is never easy, and Bisceglie said this year was no exception.

"Every year the olive harvest is a challenge for us," she said. "The goal is to make the best of it every year."

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held each spring in New York, is the world's largest and most prestigious olive oil contest and its annual listing of award winners is considered the authoritative guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils.
