OPG Lalin, a fam­ily-run olive oil pro­ducer from Croatia, has achieved a sig­nif­i­cant acco­lade at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC). The pro­duc­er’s Dalma Premium extra vir­gin olive oil was hon­ored with a Gold Award, rec­og­niz­ing its excep­tional qual­ity and bal­anced fla­vor pro­file.

Established in 1990, OPG Lalin began as a hobby before tran­si­tion­ing into a busi­ness a decade ago. The farm, located in Croatia, cul­ti­vates 300 olive trees, with 70 per­cent being the Oblica vari­ety, while Leccino and Levantinka make up 15 per­cent each. Annually, the farm pro­duces approx­i­mately 2,000 liters of extra vir­gin olive oil.

The award-win­ning Dalma Premium is a multi-vari­etal extra vir­gin olive oil, noted for its har­mo­nious blend of fruiti­ness, spici­ness, bit­ter­ness, and sweet­ness. This recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC under­scores OPG Lalin’s com­mit­ment to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oil and high­lights the dis­tinc­tive char­ac­ter­is­tics of Croatian olive oil on an inter­na­tional stage.

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