Coastal Tuscany, Italy — Tenuta Villa Ambretta has been awarded a Silver at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for the Villa Ambretta brand.
Villa Ambretta is an extra virgin olive oil of medium intensity. Marked by ripe notes and a gentle spice, Villa Ambretta unfolds with chamomile and floral tones, alongside herbaceous accents that bring the profile into balance and leave a harmonious impression.
On the hills of coastal Tuscany, Tenuta Villa Ambretta cultivates 30 hectares of olive trees in a traditional and environmentally friendly manner. The sloping groves sit on rocky terrain naturally rich in minerals, and Tenuta Villa Ambretta links these conditions to the oil’s notable health benefits.
Tenuta Villa Ambretta harvests olives manually and cold presses the fruit at the end of each day. A sommelier retains only the best daily production to elaborate a unique blend, shaping Villa Ambretta into a highly aromatic and remarkably harmonious olive oil.
The 2026 NYIOOC Silver places Villa Ambretta among the world’s awarded extra virgin olive oils. In the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, Tenuta Villa Ambretta is ranked #81 in Italy, #125 in the Northern Hemisphere and #128 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.
