The producer earned a Gold Award at the 2023 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for its Green Meadow brand, a robust blend.

"It fills us with great pride to win at this competition," owner Ofer Armoni said. "It is very satisfying to receive international recognition for our hard work."

This year's success at the World Competition is especially gratifying for Armoni after he overcame a complicated harvest to produce his extra virgin olive oil.

"This year's harvest was certainly complex, mainly due to the large quantities and the problem of personnel," he said.

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