Brief
Spanish Oaks Ranch Italian Blend, an extra virgin olive oil produced by Spanish Oaks Ranch in the United States, 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 Spanish Oaks Ranch Italian Blend is crafted from four Tuscan olive varietals: Frantoio, Leccino, Maurino, and Pendolino. These olives are harvested and milled together, resulting in a robust oil that is both herbaceous and fruity, with a hint of green almond. The oil is noted for its peppery finish, making it suitable for a variety of culinary applications, such as sautéing, drizzling on grilled meats, or roasting vegetables.
In addition to its culinary versatility, the Spanish Oaks Ranch Italian Blend is certified organic and boasts the highest polyphenol count among the producer’s offerings. Polyphenols are known for their antioxidant properties, which contribute to the health benefits associated with extra virgin olive oil.
The recognition at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition highlights the quality and craftsmanship of Spanish Oaks Ranch, further establishing its reputation in the international olive oil community.
