Italy — Dedolio has been awarded a Gold at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for the Dedolio Coratina brand.
Dedolio Coratina is an extra virgin olive oil of robust intensity produced from Coratina olives. The oil is distinguished by green almond notes, a pronounced spice character and a black pepper finish that underscores its bold profile.
Dedolio extra virgin olive oil is the fruit of a long family tradition handed down from generation to generation. For the Dedamiani family, the olive harvest and the production of oil represent an annual ritual that unites young and old in a deep bond with the land. Knowledge and techniques are passed down from grandparents to grandchildren, along with the values of respect for nature and passion for excellence.
The 2026 Gold builds on Dedolio’s record at the NYIOOC, where the producer has earned two Gold Awards overall, including a Gold in 2025.
The latest recognition also lifts Dedolio’s standing in the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, where Dedolio is ranked #51 in Italy, #93 in the Northern Hemisphere and #97 Worldwide.
The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, widely regarded as the world's leading olive oil quality contest, is a trusted reference for consumers and industry professionals.
