Dark Hollow Farm, a fam­ily-owned farm located in the Rogue Valley of south­ern Oregon, has been rec­og­nized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The farm, known for its organic olive pro­duc­tion, received a Gold Award for its Taggiasca-Maurino + Picual-Arbequina blend and a Silver Award for its Picual-Arbequina blend.

The Gold Award-win­ning blend, Dark Hollow Farm Taggiasca-Maurino + Picual-Arbequina, is a mix of approx­i­mately 52 per­cent Taggiasca, 23 per­cent Maurino, 20 per­cent Picual, and 5 per­cent Arbequina olives. This blend high­lights the far­m’s com­mit­ment to pro­duc­ing fresh and aro­matic olive oils.

In addi­tion, the far­m’s Picual-Arbequina blend, which con­sists of about 80 per­cent Picual and 20 per­cent Arbequina olives, earned a Silver Award at the World Olive Oil Competition. Both blends are cer­ti­fied organic, reflect­ing Dark Hollow Farm’s ded­i­ca­tion to sus­tain­able farm­ing prac­tices.

Dark Hollow Farm’s olives are hand­picked in October while still green and milled on-site within hours of har­vest­ing. This process ensures the pro­duc­tion of high-qual­ity extra vir­gin olive oils. The recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC under­scores the far­m’s role in the organic olive oil indus­try in the United States.

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