Terradiva Azienda Agricola Biologica, an Italian pro­ducer, has won a Gold Award at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. This marks the fifth con­sec­u­tive year the com­pany has been rec­og­nized at the event, with a total of five awards since 2021. The win­ning entry, Terradiva, is an organic extra vir­gin olive oil made from the Coratina cul­ti­var, known for its high qual­ity. Vincenzo Lobascio, the owner, stated that receiv­ing recog­ni­tion in the United States con­firms their efforts and encour­ages them to expand their pres­ence in the coun­try. Terradiva, a fam­ily-run com­pany estab­lished in 2015, con­tin­ues a long tra­di­tion of farm­ing that began in the early 1900s. The com­pany focuses on organic prod­ucts, empha­siz­ing envi­ron­men­tal respect and bio­di­ver­sity.

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition is the world’s most pres­ti­gious olive oil qual­ity con­test. The win­ning brands are pre­sented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
