The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, a prestigious event in the olive oil industry, has awarded a gold medal to Krš, an extra virgin olive oil produced by the Škegro Family Winery. The 2025 competition recognized Krš for its exceptional quality and flavor.
Krš is crafted in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Škegro Family Winery, a producer known for its dedication to quality. The winery utilizes a selection of handpicked olives, including Oblica, Pendolino, Casaliva, Lastovka, Levantinka, Leccino, and Cipressino varieties. These olives are cold pressed within four hours of harvesting, ensuring the preservation of their natural flavors and nutrients.
The resulting extra virgin olive oil is noted for its mild and flavorful profile, characterized by a balanced sweetness and bitterness. This meticulous production process and attention to detail have contributed to Krš’s recognition at the NYIOOC.
The gold award at the 2025 NYIOOC highlights the Škegro Family Winery’s commitment to producing high-quality olive oil. This accolade not only brings international attention to Krš but also underscores the potential of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a region capable of producing world-class olive oils.
