Sant’ Angelica, a small arti­san olive farm located in the Maremma region of Tuscany, Italy, has been awarded a Gold Award at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC). The farm, which over­looks the Tyrrhenian Sea, is known for its sus­tain­able and organic farm­ing prac­tices.

The farm com­prises 900 olive trees spread across 34 acres in Capalbio, an area noted for its unspoilt nat­ural beauty. Sant’ Angelica’s com­mit­ment to organic meth­ods and early har­vest­ing tech­niques ensures the pro­duc­tion of vibrant, intense, and fra­grant extra vir­gin olive oil. The olives are care­fully har­vested to pre­vent bruis­ing and are processed shortly after col­lec­tion to main­tain the best fla­vors.

The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious olive oil com­pe­ti­tion glob­ally, rec­og­niz­ing excel­lence in olive oil pro­duc­tion. Sant’ Angelica’s achieve­ment high­lights the qual­ity and crafts­man­ship of their olive oil, which is pro­duced using the best tech­niques avail­able. This recog­ni­tion places Sant’ Angelica among the top pro­duc­ers in the indus­try, show­cas­ing the poten­tial of small-scale, sus­tain­ably man­aged farms in the global olive oil mar­ket.

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