Pozo Alcón, Spain — Elixir Natura Global SLU has been awarded a Silver at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for Sangre de Olivo Elixir.
"This award is deeply meaningful for us. Sangre de Olivo Elixir is born in the mountains of Jaen, within the Sierra de Cazorla, from trees our family has cared for across generations. Early harvested at dawn, it captures freshness, intensity, and the spirit of our land. Each drop reflects patience, altitude, and tradition. This recognition inspires us to keep sharing a limited extra virgin olive oil made with heart.," said Antonio Moreno Cabezuelo, Founder & Producer at Elixir Natura Global SLU.
Sangre de Olivo Elixir is an extra virgin olive oil of medium intensity produced from Picual olives. The oil is distinguished by a green, savory character that evokes artichoke and tomato leaf, layered with fresh herbs and green pepper, and carried through to a peppery finish.
Born in Pozo Alcón, Jaén, within Spain’s largest protected natural park, Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas, Elixir Natura Global SLU traces its roots to a family legacy shaped by generations working mountain groves. The project reflects an enduring connection to the landscape and a stated respect for the land, translating local olive-growing traditions into a premium extra virgin olive oil identity under the Sangre de Olivo Elixir name.
The NYIOOC Silver places Sangre de Olivo Elixir among the world’s recognized extra virgin olive oils. In the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, Elixir Natura Global SLU is ranked #73 in Spain, #128 in the Northern Hemisphere and #130 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.
