Dark Hollow Farm, based in the Rogue Valley of south­ern Oregon, has been rec­og­nized at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The fam­ily-owned farm, known for its organic olive cul­ti­va­tion, secured both Gold and Silver Awards for its olive oil blends.

The far­m’s Taggiasca-Maurino + Picual-Arbequina blend received a Gold Award. This blend is com­posed of approx­i­mately 52 per­cent Taggiasca, 23 per­cent Maurino, 20 per­cent Picual, and 5 per­cent Arbequina olives. The care­ful craft­ing of these vari­eties results in a unique olive oil offer­ing.

Additionally, Dark Hollow Farm​’s Picual-Arbequina Blend was awarded a Silver Award. This extra vir­gin olive oil con­sists of approx­i­mately 80 per­cent Picual and 20 per­cent Arbequina olives, high­light­ing the far­m’s ded­i­ca­tion to pro­duc­ing qual­ity organic prod­ucts.

Dark Hollow Farm con­tin­ues to hand­pick its olives in October while they are still green and mills them on-site within hours of pick­ing. This process ensures the pro­duc­tion of fresh, aro­matic blends that have been rec­og­nized in inter­na­tional com­pe­ti­tions.

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