Bastide du Laval, a dis­tin­guished olive oil brand pro­duced by Oliviers & Co, has been awarded a Gold medal at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. This pres­ti­gious event is renowned for rec­og­niz­ing excel­lence in the olive oil indus­try, and Bastide du Laval’s achieve­ment high­lights its supe­rior qual­ity.

The olive oil is pro­duced in the heart of the Luberon, Provence, France, and is known for its intense char­ac­ter. Bastide du Laval is a PDO Provence olive oil, pri­mar­ily made from Aglandau olives. These olives are hand­picked at the begin­ning of the sea­son and imme­di­ately cold-pressed, ensur­ing the preser­va­tion of their veg­e­tal aro­mas.

The taste pro­file of Bastide du Laval is notable for its pow­er­ful fla­vors, which include notes of fresh grass, raw arti­choke, and fresh almond. The spici­ness expe­ri­enced at the back of the throat, referred to as ​‘ardence’, indi­cates a high level of antiox­i­dants present in the oil.

This recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC under­scores the com­mit­ment of Bastide du Laval to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oil. The award serves as a tes­ta­ment to the brand’s ded­i­ca­tion to main­tain­ing tra­di­tional pro­duc­tion meth­ods while achiev­ing excel­lence in fla­vor and nutri­tional value.
