The Olive Connection, a Greek olive oil pro­ducer, has been awarded a Gold Award at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) for its Kouskoulas Premium extra vir­gin olive oil (EVOO). The award-win­ning oil is pro­duced exclu­sively from Koroneiki vari­ety olives, sourced from the Messinia region in the Southern Peloponnese of Greece.

The Olive Connection is a fam­ily-run busi­ness, oper­ated by the Kouskoulas fam­ily for three gen­er­a­tions. The fam­i­ly’s ded­i­ca­tion to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity extra vir­gin olive oil has been a long­stand­ing tra­di­tion, with a focus on main­tain­ing the authen­tic­ity and qual­ity of their prod­uct.

The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious olive oil com­pe­ti­tion glob­ally, rec­og­niz­ing excel­lence in olive oil pro­duc­tion. The Gold Award for Kouskoulas Premium EVOO high­lights the supe­rior qual­ity and crafts­man­ship of The Olive Connection’s prod­ucts.

The Koroneiki cul­ti­var, known for its robust fla­vor and high polyphe­nol con­tent, is a key fac­tor in the pre­mium qual­ity of the Kouskoulas EVOO. The Messinia region, with its ideal cli­mate and soil con­di­tions, fur­ther con­tributes to the dis­tinc­tive char­ac­ter­is­tics of the olive oil.

The recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC under­scores The Olive Connection’s com­mit­ment to pro­duc­ing excep­tional extra vir­gin olive oil, con­tin­u­ing a fam­ily tra­di­tion that pri­or­i­tizes qual­ity and authen­tic­ity.

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