Brief
Gaea Fresh by Gaea, an extra virgin olive oil, has been awarded a Gold medal at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. This prestigious event is known for recognizing the highest quality olive oils from around the world, and Gaea Fresh’s achievement highlights its exceptional quality.
Produced by Gaea in Greece, Gaea Fresh is crafted from the ancient Olympia variety of olives. The oil originates from the region known as the birthplace of the Olympic Games, a location steeped in a 4,000-year-old heritage of olive cultivation. The bold and pungent flavor of this olive oil is a testament to its rich history and meticulous production process.
Gaea Fresh is notable for its high polyphenol content, with over 350 mg/kg of tyrosyl. Polyphenols are known for their health benefits, and the high concentration in Gaea Fresh underscores its nutritional value. The olives used in its production are handpicked and cold-extracted within three hours of harvest, a method that ensures the preservation of peak polyphenol levels and the freshest taste.
The recognition at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition serves as a testament to the quality and dedication involved in producing Gaea Fresh. This award places Gaea Fresh among the top-tier olive oils globally, reflecting the brand’s commitment to excellence in olive oil production.
