Cobram Estate, a pro­ducer orig­i­nally from Australia, has been rec­og­nized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for its high-qual­ity extra vir­gin olive oils pro­duced in the United States. The com­pany, which expanded its oper­a­tions to the Sacramento Valley in 2014, received three Silver Awards at the pres­ti­gious event.

The win­ning entries include Cobram Estate California Select, which fea­tures the Arbequina cul­ti­var. This selec­tion is part of their range that includes unique vari­eties such as Picual, Coratina, and Arbequina. Additionally, Cobram Estate’s Everyday Essentials line was acknowl­edged with two Silver Awards. The Everyday Essentials Robust, made from the Coratina cul­ti­var, is noted for its spicy, fruity, and leafy fla­vor pro­file with medium bit­ter­ness and pun­gency. Meanwhile, the Everyday Essentials Mild, also based on the Arbequina cul­ti­var, is char­ac­ter­ized by its sweet­ness, clean palate, low bit­ter­ness, and slight pun­gency.

The World Olive Oil Competition is a sig­nif­i­cant event in the olive oil indus­try, high­light­ing the qual­ity and diver­sity of olive oils from around the globe. Cobram Estate’s suc­cess at the com­pe­ti­tion under­scores the poten­tial of California’s fer­tile soil and Mediterranean cli­mate in pro­duc­ing world-class olive oils.

The win­ning brands are pre­sented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
