Durant Olive Mill, located in the United States, has been rec­og­nized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, secur­ing mul­ti­ple Gold Awards for its extra vir­gin olive oils. As the only com­mer­cial olive mill in Oregon, Durant Olive Mill is home to seven hectares of olive trees.

The Durant Olive Mill Frantoio received a Gold Award. This extra vir­gin olive oil is noted for being delight­fully fra­grant, start­ing out smooth and but­tery, with a lin­ger­ing pep­pery fin­ish. The Durant Olive Mill Arbequina also earned a Gold Award, described as a fra­grant oil with a sweet grass aroma and a mild, smooth fla­vor with a hint of green banana.

Additionally, the Durant Olive Mill Tuscan was awarded Gold, char­ac­ter­ized by aro­mas of chard and ripe black olive, com­ple­mented by a but­tery palate with fla­vors of unripe avo­cado, net­tle, green tea, and toasted pine nut. The Durant Olive Mill Mission, another Gold Award recip­i­ent, fea­tures rich, green aro­mas of arugula and radic­chio, with a mild, pep­pery fin­ish.

The Durant Olive Mill Estate Blend received a Silver Award. This blend is com­prised of Leccino, Arbequina, Koroneiki, and Picual olives, all grown on the Durant farm in Oregon. Paul Durant, the cer­ti­fied mas­ter miller, over­sees the pro­duc­tion process to ensure qual­ity.
