— Dimitri Olive Farms has been awarded a Silver at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for Dimitri Early Harvest Agoureleo.
"This is the first time we entered in a competition and even though skeptical at first, I’m very glad we won silver. After speaking to other producers and hearing how hard it is to get gold or silver I’m very pleased with the results. We know our product is pure and robust with lots of flavor. I’m glad the judges thought that as well.," said Dimitrios Komninos, owner at Dimitri Olive Farms .
Dimitri Early Harvest Agoureleo is a medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil produced from Koroneiki olives. The oil is distinguished by green, savory aromatics that recall fig leaf and green tomato, with a lively bitterness that evokes chicory and arugula, and a crisp, peppery edge reminiscent of radish.
Dimitri Olive Farms emphasizes an approach rooted in authenticity and hands-on production. Dimitri Olive Farms cites 200-year-old olive farms off the Mediterranean coast and produces unfiltered extra virgin olive oil that Dimitri Olive Farms manufactures and cold-presses.
The 2026 Silver adds to Dimitri Olive Farms’ record at the competition, bringing Dimitri Olive Farms to two Silver Awards overall at NYIOOC, following a Silver Award in 2024.
In the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, Dimitri Olive Farms is ranked #52 in the United States, #113 in the Northern Hemisphere and #116 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.
