Olympia, Greece — Hellenic Fields has been awarded a Gold at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for Ena Ena Dialogue PGI Olympia.
Ena Ena Dialogue PGI Olympia is a medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil made from Koroneiki olives. The oil is distinguished by green pepper and pink pepper aromatics, bitter almond on the palate and a tomato note that carries through the finish.
As detailed in Olive Oil Times’ report, harvesting and milling with surgical precision has become a defining part of the approach at Hellenic Fields, where careful timing and close oversight are treated as essential to protecting freshness and consistency from grove to mill.
Hellenic Fields traces its work to what it describes as a love and respect for the “exceptional treasures of the Greek land.” The farm produces its own extra virgin olive oil as well as organic herbs and honey, and the team remains personally engaged at every stage of production, from cultivation to packaging, to safeguard quality while preserving the land it owns and cultivates through its work at Ena Ena.
The 2026 Gold continues a steady record at the NYIOOC for Hellenic Fields. Across its full competition history, Hellenic Fields has earned six Gold Awards and two Silver Awards, including a Gold in 2025, 2024 and 2023, a Silver in 2022, a Gold and a Silver in 2021, and a Gold in 2020.
The result further strengthens Hellenic Fields’ position in the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, where Hellenic Fields is ranked #10 in Greece, #64 in the Northern Hemisphere and #66 Worldwide.
