Situated in Catalonia, the company earned its debut award at the 2024 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for an organic, delicate Arbequina.
"It is an honor to have received a Silver Award," said owner Martin Gonzalez Meyer. "For our team, it is a reward for the effort, dedication and love that we put into producing an organic and biodynamic oil of the highest quality. It is also a very important recognition at an international level."
In the 2023/24 crop year, Oli Cometes produced 2,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.
"The 2023 harvest was a very scarce olive harvest due to the drought and high temperatures since our olive grove is not irrigated," Gonzalez said. "This year a very low quantity was harvested, but the oil obtained has been of high quality."
