Tenuta San Jacopo, a his­toric farm located in Cavriglia, Tuscany, has been rec­og­nized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The far­m’s Castiglioncelli olive oil received a Gold Award, under­scor­ing its qual­ity and adher­ence to organic farm­ing prac­tices.

Founded in 1737, Tenuta San Jacopo spans 140 hectares between Chianti Classico and Valdarno Superiore, with 40 hectares ded­i­cated to vine­yards, olive groves, and woods. Since 2003, these areas have been cul­ti­vated using organic meth­ods. The farm pro­duces olive oil from Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Leccino vari­eties, with a grove com­pris­ing 6,000 trees.

The award-win­ning Castiglioncelli is a PGI extra vir­gin olive oil crafted from the Frantoio cul­ti­var, grown in the Tuscan hills. This recog­ni­tion at the World Olive Oil Competition high­lights Tenuta San Jacopo’s ded­i­ca­tion to main­tain­ing tra­di­tional agri­cul­tural prac­tices while embrac­ing organic farm­ing.

The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious com­pe­ti­tion in the olive oil indus­try, attract­ing entries from pro­duc­ers world­wide. Tenuta San Jacopo’s achieve­ment at this event reflects the far­m’s com­mit­ment to qual­ity and sus­tain­abil­ity in olive oil pro­duc­tion.

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