MillPress Arbequina, pro­duced by Almazara Andres Aguilar, has been awarded a Gold medal at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. This pres­ti­gious event is rec­og­nized glob­ally as a bench­mark for excel­lence in the olive oil indus­try.

The award-win­ning extra vir­gin olive oil (EVOO) is crafted in Linares, Spain, where the Aguilar fam­ily oper­ates their mill. The fam­ily is ded­i­cated to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity EVOOs, with a focus on main­tain­ing opti­mal con­di­tions dur­ing the milling process. Their com­mit­ment to qual­ity is evi­dent in their use of state-of-the-art Pieralisi milling equip­ment, which ensures that the fruit paste tem­per­a­tures are kept as low as pos­si­ble dur­ing pro­duc­tion.

The MillPress Arbequina brand is known for its metic­u­lous pro­cess­ing meth­ods. Each cul­ti­var har­vested is fil­tered imme­di­ately after crush­ing, a step that con­tributes to the oil’s purity and qual­ity. The Aguilar fam­i­ly’s ded­i­ca­tion to excel­lence is reflected in their con­sis­tent per­for­mance at inter­na­tional com­pe­ti­tions.

The recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC high­lights the supe­rior qual­ity of MillPress Arbequina and under­scores the exper­tise of Almazara Andres Aguilar in pro­duc­ing excep­tional olive oils. This achieve­ment not only enhances the brand’s rep­u­ta­tion but also rein­forces Spain’s stand­ing as a lead­ing pro­ducer of pre­mium olive oils.
