The Umbrian producer earned a second consecutive World Competition award for its Sine Die brand, a medium-intensity blend of Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino and Leccio del Corno olives.

"It is exciting to receive this prestigious award for the hard work our company has undertaken for several years now," said Gianmichele Gnavolini, the company's chief executive.

"We improve every year, striving for perfection through technological improvement and environmental and human resources sustainability," he added.

In the 2023/24 crop year, Raccolta Sapore produced 13,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil.

"It was a complicated season but certainly did not affect our quality standards, which continue to be a company focal point," Gnavolini said. "Production almost halved, but quality was still very high."
