Brief
Fratelli Fiore, an olive farm based in the north of Bari, Italy, has been recÂogÂnized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition with a Gold Award for its Parco delle Lamie extra virÂgin olive oil. This award-winÂning oil is proÂduced from the Coratina culÂtiÂvar, known for its bitÂter and spicy flaÂvor, attribÂuted to a high conÂcenÂtraÂtion of polypheÂnols — approxÂiÂmately 300 perÂcent higher than other variÂeties.
The farm, which spans 22 hectares of organic farmÂing in the counÂtryÂside of Grumo Appula, has been manÂaged by three genÂerÂaÂtions of the Fiore famÂily. The Parco delle Lamie disÂtrict, from which the olive oil derives its name, is noted for its suitÂabilÂity for olive culÂtiÂvaÂtion.
The NYIOOC, one of the most presÂtiÂgious comÂpeÂtiÂtions in the olive oil indusÂtry, recÂogÂnizes excelÂlence in olive oil proÂducÂtion worldÂwide. Fratelli Fiore​’s achieveÂment at the World Olive Oil Competition underÂscores the qualÂity and disÂtincÂtiveÂness of its organic farmÂing pracÂtices and the unique charÂacÂterÂisÂtics of its Parco delle Lamie extra virÂgin olive oil.
The winÂning brands are preÂsented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
