SOPG Drenka Begić, a Croatian pro­ducer known for its ded­i­ca­tion to high-qual­ity extra vir­gin olive oil, has been awarded a Gold Award at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The win­ning entry, Begić Oblica, is crafted from Croatia’s iconic Oblica olive.

The olive grove, where Begić Oblica is pro­duced, is sit­u­ated on rocky, ter­raced ter­rain with a view of the sea, con­tribut­ing to the unique char­ac­ter­is­tics of the oil. The NYIOOC, rec­og­nized as one of the most pres­ti­gious olive oil com­pe­ti­tions glob­ally, eval­u­ates oils from pro­duc­ers around the world, high­light­ing excel­lence in olive oil pro­duc­tion.

This achieve­ment under­scores SOPG Drenka Begić​’s com­mit­ment to qual­ity and the rich tra­di­tion of olive oil pro­duc­tion in Croatia. The World Olive Oil Competition serves as a plat­form for pro­duc­ers to show­case their prod­ucts and gain inter­na­tional recog­ni­tion. SOPG Drenka Begić’s suc­cess at the com­pe­ti­tion is a tes­ta­ment to the qual­ity of Croatian olive oils and their grow­ing rep­u­ta­tion on the global stage.

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