This recognition corroborates the one recently received as the best #EVOO of the 2020-21 Harvest in the Estepa Denomination of Origin contest, which was organized by its Regulatory Council. To this award is added the recognition of its high quality achieved in competitions in NEW YORK, CANADA and JAPAN. This excellent EVOO was cold extracted in our mills from Lora de Estepa in November, using only early-harvest organic Hojiblanca olives. The result is a very fruity EVOO, with aromas reminiscent of green olives and hits of ripe olives, freshly grass and artichoke. Spiciness and bitterness are mild and balanced, and there is a hint of sweetness. EGREGIO is available in gourmet stores and in the online store: https://www.egregioextravirgin.com/store

In the mouth, the spiciness and bitterness stand out, harmonious and very balanced, complemented with a touch of sweetness. The contest organized by the Estepa Denomination of Origin is based on two unique milestones that are not presented in any other contest in the world. First of all, participants must have a deposit of at least 40,000 kg of extra virgin olive oil, which forces participants to have a high level of generalized demand in its production. Secondly, all the oils presented must comply with the specifications of the Estepa Designation of Origin, the most demanding in the world on certifying the high quality of an extra virgin olive oil. This award recognizes the great work of the associated oil mills located in the territory protected by the Estepa Designation of Origin in the development of a sustainable olive grove and an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality.
