Azienda Agricola Carroccia Campodimele, a fam­ily-run busi­ness from Italy, has won a Silver Award at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The pro­ducer, known for its organic Itrana olives, has now achieved five con­sec­u­tive wins at the com­pe­ti­tion, with one award each year since 2022.

The win­ning entry, Carroccia Campodimele Itrana, is pro­duced from Itrana olives har­vested man­u­ally in early October. The olives are cold-pressed, and the entire pro­duc­tion process is plas­tic-free, reflect­ing the pro­duc­er’s com­mit­ment to sus­tain­able prac­tices.

Orlando Carroccia, co-owner of the estate, expressed sat­is­fac­tion with the recog­ni­tion, stat­ing that the qual­ity of their organic olive oil has been acknowl­edged inter­na­tion­ally. The estate is located in Campodimele, south of Rome, a region known for the longevity of its inhab­i­tants, which is partly attrib­uted to their diet rich in extra vir­gin olive oil.

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition is the world’s most pres­ti­gious olive oil qual­ity con­test. The win­ning brands are pre­sented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
