Ptora Midnight Picholine, pro­duced by Tamir Farm in Israel, has been rec­og­nized at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, earn­ing a Silver award. The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious com­pe­ti­tion in the olive oil indus­try, high­light­ing excel­lence in extra vir­gin olive oil pro­duc­tion.

The pro­duc­tion of Ptora Midnight Picholine involves a metic­u­lous process designed to pre­serve the qual­ity and fla­vor of the olives. The olives are selected early in the sea­son and har­vested at sun­set. They are then imme­di­ately trans­ferred to the oil press, where the extrac­tion process occurs in com­plete dark­ness and at low tem­per­a­tures.

This care­ful method of pro­duc­tion results in an olive oil that is excep­tion­ally bright green in color. The oil is noted for its fresh, fruity, and robust taste, char­ac­ter­is­tics that likely con­tributed to its recog­ni­tion at the NYIOOC.

Tamir Farm’s ded­i­ca­tion to main­tain­ing high stan­dards in olive oil pro­duc­tion is evi­dent in their unique approach. By avoid­ing expo­sure to light dur­ing the extrac­tion process, they ensure that the qual­ity and fla­vor of the Ptora Midnight Picholine are pre­served, set­ting it apart in the com­pet­i­tive field of extra vir­gin olive oils.
