Fontanaro Estate, an Italian pro­ducer renowned for its organic extra vir­gin olive oil, has been awarded a Gold Award at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC). The win­ning entry, Olio Fonte della Pace, is an organic blend made from five vari­eties of olives: Leccino, Frantoio, Dolce Agogia, Moraiolo, and Pendolino.

Fontanaro Estate empha­sizes qual­ity con­trol through­out the pro­duc­tion process, from man­ual har­vest­ing to pro­cess­ing at their state-of-the-art mill located on the farm. This prox­im­ity allows the estate to press the olives within six hours of har­vest­ing, ensur­ing the integrity of the final prod­uct. For the award-win­ning Olio Fonte della Pace, the olives were hand­picked and processed within three hours of har­vest, high­light­ing the estate’s com­mit­ment to main­tain­ing high stan­dards.

The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious olive oil com­pe­ti­tion glob­ally, rec­og­niz­ing excel­lence in olive oil pro­duc­tion. Fontanaro Estate’s achieve­ment under­scores its ded­i­ca­tion to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity organic olive oil, con­tribut­ing to Italy’s rep­u­ta­tion as a lead­ing pro­ducer in the indus­try.

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