Mandranova, a promi­nent olive oil pro­ducer from south­ern Sicily, has been rec­og­nized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition with a Gold Award for its Selezione extra vir­gin olive oil. The com­pe­ti­tion, known for its rig­or­ous stan­dards, high­lights the best olive oils from around the globe.

Located in Italy, Mandranova oper­ates a farm span­ning over 180 hectares, focus­ing on olive oil and almond pro­duc­tion. The farm employs inte­grated agri­cul­ture and poly­conic vase prun­ing tech­niques to cul­ti­vate its Sicilian cul­ti­var olives. The har­vest begins in September, and the olives are processed in Mandranova’s pro­pri­etary mill using cold extrac­tion meth­ods.

The Selezione extra vir­gin olive oil, which earned the Gold Award, is crafted from a blend of the finest olives har­vested each year. Known for its medium-intense and fruity pro­file, the oil is rich in polyphe­nols and exhibits an intense green color, reflect­ing its high qual­ity.

The recog­ni­tion at the World Olive Oil Competition under­scores Mandranova’s com­mit­ment to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oils, con­tribut­ing to the rep­u­ta­tion of Sicilian oils on the inter­na­tional stage.

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