This weekend we headed down to the Yolo County fairgrounds to accept the trophy for the “Best of the Best” California olive oil, won by our 2012 Gold Series Coratina. The local press was there to mark the event. The judges found our Coratina to be the best organic olive oil and then, when judged against the best non-organic olive oils, it was again found to be the best overall.  We really like this little-known variety, and with over 250 olive oils in the competition this year, we’re happy it got the recognition it deserves.
