Frantoio di Montalcino, a newly estab­lished Italian extra vir­gin olive oil pro­ducer, has achieved sig­nif­i­cant recog­ni­tion at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC). The com­pany was awarded a Gold Award for its Brunera blend, which is crafted from a 100 per­cent blend of six Italian olive vari­eties.

Founded in 2023, Frantoio di Montalcino is based in Italy and has quickly made a name for itself in the olive oil indus­try. The com­pany oper­ates from a 75-year-old mill in Montalcino, which has been trans­formed into a mod­ern oil milling facil­ity. This trans­for­ma­tion was made pos­si­ble by a team of expe­ri­enced olive oil mak­ers and moti­vated investors, who have suc­cess­fully com­bined tra­di­tional meth­ods with con­tem­po­rary tech­niques.

The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious com­pe­ti­tion in the olive oil indus­try, attract­ing entries from pro­duc­ers world­wide. Frantoio di Montalcino’s suc­cess at this event high­lights the qual­ity and crafts­man­ship of its prod­ucts. The Brunera blend, which earned the Gold Award, is a tes­ta­ment to the com­pa­ny’s ded­i­ca­tion to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oil.

This achieve­ment marks an impor­tant mile­stone for Frantoio di Montalcino, as it con­tin­ues to estab­lish its pres­ence in the com­pet­i­tive olive oil mar­ket. The recog­ni­tion from the NYIOOC serves as an endorse­ment of the com­pa­ny’s com­mit­ment to excel­lence in olive oil pro­duc­tion.
