Italy — Terradiva Azienda Agricola Biologica has been awarded a Gold at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for the Terradiva brand.
Terradiva is an extra virgin olive oil of robust intensity, produced from Coratina olives. Marked by green almond and green banana sensations, Terradiva opens with fresh-cut grass aromatics and builds toward a firm, peppery impression consistent with the cultivar’s naturally high phenolic character.
Founded in 2015, Terradiva is rooted in the Lobascio family’s farming tradition, which began in the early 1900s. Terradiva Azienda Agricola Biologica has positioned the Terradiva project as a continuation of that history through organic agriculture, emphasizing care for the land, attention to small-scale craftsmanship and respect for the environment and biodiversity, as detailed by the family at Terradiva’s website.
The 2026 Gold adds to Terradiva Azienda Agricola Biologica’s established record at the NYIOOC. Overall, Terradiva Azienda Agricola Biologica has earned five Gold Awards, including one Gold each in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The result also strengthens Terradiva Azienda Agricola Biologica’s standing in the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, where it is ranked #31 in Italy, #72 in the Northern Hemisphere and #76 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.
