FERRANDI Paris hosted the QUALITY COMPETITION and MASTER CLASS for the first time.
With 133 selected entries, OLIO NUOVO DAYS is a niche competition dedicated to high end products. A unique opportunity to highlight excellence in the small world of french and Parisian gastronomy.
We are thrilled to announce the results of the QUALITY COMPETITION below:
BEST EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS 2024 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
BEST OF SHOW
BEST OF SHOW: MONTEOLIVA ORO Monocultivar Pajarero (Spain)
Monteoliva Oro Pajarero, a monocultivar from Spain developed by José Antonio López, manager of the Cooperativa Olivarera Virgen de la Sierra de Cabra. “We are a cooperative in a small town located in the south of Spain,” says López, “so being the best extra virgin olive oils is a source of pride for all the farmers who make up our great family. Winning this award is a way of rewarding the good work of the farmer in such a complex year due to the scarcity of water in our region.” Pajarero is a unique olive variety from the Sierra de Cabra region in southern Spain. “It’s a very delicate olive oil developing its personality and complexity on the palate with smoothness”.
