Rome, Italy — MillPress Imports has been awarded two Gold Awards at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for MillPress Coratina and Seasons Coratina.
Produced from Coratina olives, MillPress Coratina is an extra virgin olive oil of robust intensity. The oil is distinguished by a green, assertive character, with artichoke and unripe fruit impressions layered with eucalyptus freshness, chicory bitterness and a green-almond finish that lingers on the palate.
MillPress Imports also earned a 2026 Gold for Seasons Coratina, another robust Coratina monovarietal, reinforcing the importer’s focus on sourcing and presenting intensely green, high-phenolic styles that appeal to chefs and consumers seeking aromatic freshness.
