In order to win a Gold Medal and Best of Class trophy, an olive oil must rank in the top 0.1% of oils produced worldwide for both quality and taste.
Leandro Ravetti, chief olive oil maker at Cobram Estate says “Freshness is a key component of olive oil quality, the fresher the oil, the higher the health benefits due to increased levels of over 20 different natural antioxidants found in Extra Virgin olive oil.
In winning the awards, the product beat a line-up of olive oils that retail for up to 10 times the price.
