Don Gioacchino by Sabino Leone, an Italian extra vir­gin olive oil, has been rec­og­nized with a Gold Award at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. This pres­ti­gious event is known for eval­u­at­ing and award­ing the high­est qual­ity olive oils from around the world.

The Don Gioacchino brand is noted for its com­plex and har­mo­nious pro­file. The extra vir­gin olive oil is char­ac­ter­ized by scents of green almond, along with hints of arti­choke stem, tomato leaf, and herbs. These aro­matic qual­i­ties con­tribute to its dis­tinc­tive sen­sory expe­ri­ence.

Produced in Italy, Don Gioacchino is a mono­va­ri­etal Coratina olive oil, which is rich in polyphe­nols. The oil’s taste is bal­anced, fea­tur­ing bit­ter and spicy notes rem­i­nis­cent of wild chicory and bit­ter almond. This com­plex­ity is a hall­mark of its pro­duc­tion under the exper­tise of Sabino Leone.

The recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC high­lights the qual­ity and crafts­man­ship behind Don Gioacchino. The com­pe­ti­tion is a bench­mark for excel­lence in the olive oil indus­try, and win­ning a Gold Award sig­ni­fies a high level of achieve­ment for pro­duc­ers.
