Fattoria San Michele a Torri, located in the heart of Italy’s Chianti region, has been rec­og­nized with a Gold Award at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The award was given for their Laudemio Fattoria San Michele a Torri, an organic olive oil made from the Frantoio cul­ti­var.

The NYIOOC, known as the World Olive Oil Competition, is the most pres­ti­gious qual­ity con­test in the olive oil indus­try, draw­ing entries from pro­duc­ers world­wide. Fattoria San Michele a Torri’s win­ning entry stands out for its organic pro­duc­tion meth­ods and care­ful har­vest­ing process. The olives are picked at the opti­mal stage of ripeness at the end of October, ensur­ing the qual­ity of the oil.

Fattoria San Michele a Torri has been an organic farm since 1993, with over 900 hectares of land, includ­ing 85 hectares of vine­yards and 110 hectares of olive groves. The farm is located just 15 kilo­me­ters from Florence, Italy. Paolo Nocentini, the cur­rent owner, has played a sig­nif­i­cant role in the far­m’s tran­si­tion to organic pro­duc­tion and the expan­sion of its crops.

This recog­ni­tion at the World Olive Oil Competition high­lights the far­m’s com­mit­ment to organic farm­ing prac­tices and qual­ity pro­duc­tion. The award-win­ning Laudemio Fattoria San Michele a Torri is a tes­ta­ment to the far­m’s ded­i­ca­tion to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oil.

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