Tramuntana, Spain — Son Moragues 1921 has been awarded a Silver at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for Son Moragues.
Produced from Empeltre olives, Son Moragues is a medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil distinguished by ripe olive character layered with arugula, green tea and spice, finishing with a clear note of pepper. Careful attention to the fruit and processing helps preserve the oil’s balance and aromatic clarity.
Son Moragues 1921 produces organic olive oil, combining sustainability, tradition and innovation from trees that have grown on the same terraces for centuries. Son Moragues 1921 produces Son Moragues in the Sierra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the area’s orographic characteristics contribute to the conditions in which the olives are grown.
