Tamir Farm, located in the Lachish region of Israel, has been rec­og­nized at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) with a Silver Award for its Ptora Midnight Picholine. The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious com­pe­ti­tion in the olive oil indus­try, attract­ing entries from pro­duc­ers world­wide.

The Ptora Midnight Picholine is a prod­uct of Tamir Farm​’s metic­u­lous pro­duc­tion process, which involves har­vest­ing olives at night to pre­vent expo­sure to light. This method is employed to main­tain the qual­ity and integrity of the oil. The Picholine cul­ti­var, known for its dis­tinct fla­vor pro­file, is a key com­po­nent of this award-win­ning olive oil.

Tamir Farm, also known as Ptora Farm, has a rich his­tory in agri­cul­ture, with its roots trac­ing back to the dis­cov­ery of an ancient Byzantine wine press on its land. This dis­cov­ery indi­cated the region’s fer­tile soil and his­tor­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance in agri­cul­tural activ­i­ties. The farm spe­cial­izes in the cul­ti­va­tion of olives and grapes, pro­duc­ing not only olive oil but also bou­tique wines and other agri­cul­tural prod­ucts.

The recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC under­scores Tamir Farm’s com­mit­ment to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oil and its stand­ing in the inter­na­tional olive oil com­mu­nity.

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