EXAU named 'One of World's Best Olive Oils' at NYIOOC
EXAU Wins Silver Award at NYIOOC
There aren't enough words to describe what this award means to us.
The NYIOOC (New York International Olive Oil Competition) is the biggest and most competitive olive oil competition in the world. There are 1,000 entries from more than 27 different countries. Out of all of those incredible companies the EXAU - Letregi took home silver. We are still reeling from the results and cannot contain our excitement!
Giuseppe's family has been making olive oil for almost 100 years, he's a 3rd generation olive oil maker, but his family never had the intention of producing an Internationally ranked oil. They simply wanted to take care of their trees and create a beautiful EVOO that could be enjoyed by family, friends, and neighbors.
In 2017 Giuseppe decided to mix traditional and modern methods of making oil. We moved back to Italy for 7 months to go through each step of the process and make the necessary changes. We met with agriculturalists, chemists, and put our oils through professional panel tasting while working in 'campagna' (countryside) to make sure the olive trees were as healthy and happy as possible. We will fly back to Italy again this fall to harvest, press, filter, bottle, and privately import our oil.
We want to thank you so much for being a part of this journey! We have the best, most loyal customers and are overwhelmed with the amount of support you provide.
Here's to another year of consuming fantastic oil.
