It feels excellent knowing that I continue the tradition of winning awards at this important olive oil competition. I am sure that tradition will continue in the following years.

The Dalmatian producer earned its fourth straight recognition at the 2024 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for a medium-intensity Oblica.

"It feels excellent knowing that I continue the tradition of winning awards at this important olive oil competition," said owner Domagoj Živković. "I am sure that tradition will continue in the following years."

In the 2023/24 crop year, Laurenta produced 2,500 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

"This year was average to good," Živković said. "The challenges remain the same: droughts, extreme weather conditions at delicate times of the year and a lack of understanding from the authorities."
