Situated on the island of Rhodes, the producer earned its fourth World Competition award for its Kallas Natural Products brand, a medium-intensity Koroneiki. The brand previously earned Gold Awards in 2023 and 2022, along with a Silver Award in 2020.

"We cannot contain our satisfaction," said owner Stavros Kallas. "Our efforts have been rewarded in the best way possible, ensuring our presence as one of the world's best olive oils."

In the 2023/24 crop year, Natura Rodos produced 3,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods.

"It was a very difficult year, with high temperatures during the harvest season," Kallas said. "The olive fruit also ripened rapidly, and the harvest had to be done very quickly to achieve better organoleptic results."
