7 Great Taste Awards for Artisan Olive Oil Company Fine Foods
We are delighted to share that The Artisan Olive Oil Company, together with our partners, received seven prestigious awards in the 2020 edition of the Great Taste Awards — one of the world’s most trusted food and drink accolades.
Our collection of award-winning extra virgin olive oils, luxury vinegars, and organic pantry staples is carefully selected to bring the very best of the Mediterranean to your kitchen. Here are this year’s highlights:
1️⃣ Due Vittorie Apple Vinegar — ★★★ 3 Great Taste Stars
Awarded 3 stars — an honour given to fewer than 2% of entries — this exceptional Italian apple vinegar impressed the judges:
"Beautiful, deep golden vinegar with an aroma of bittersweet apples. The taste... wow. Sweetness perfectly balanced with rich, caramel balsamic notes. The viscosity and complexity rival a fine aged balsamic. Quite delicious — we could drink it as is."
2️⃣ Oro Bailén Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil — ★★ 2 Great Taste Stars
Our Oro Bailén Arbequina EVOO — one of Spain’s most awarded olive oils — earned 2 stars:
"A beautifully gentle oil with a great deal of character."
3️⃣ Oro Bailén Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil — ★ 1 Great Taste Star
The Oro Bailén Frantoio EVOO received 1 star for its exceptional flavour and texture:
"A sparkling, deep green-gold oil with aromas of meadow hay. Rich, smooth and creamy, with notes of tomato leaf, bitter herb and vibrant, lasting peppery heat."
4️⃣ Oro Bailén Hojiblanca Extra Virgin Olive Oil — ★ 1 Great Taste Star
The judges awarded 1 star to Oro Bailén Hojiblanca EVOO:
"Exquisite golden green colour, perfectly clear. Freshly cut grass aromas with artichoke and green banana notes. Silky smooth texture, balanced bitterness and a reassuring peppery finish."
5️⃣ Moulins Mahjoub Organic Hand-Rolled Wholewheat M’hamsa — ★ 1 Great Taste Star
Our organic hand-rolled couscous from Tunisia was celebrated for its flavour:
"An array of nutty flavours — from walnut to hazelnut — which we thoroughly enjoyed."
6️⃣ Moulins Mahjoub Organic Tunisian Shakshuka — ★ 1 Great Taste Star
A Great Taste star winner for its authentic flavour:
"This tastes homemade, with no hint of having been jarred."
7️⃣ Moulins Mahjoub Organic Sauce with Black Olives & Artichokes — ★ 1 Great Taste Star
Judges praised this standout organic Mediterranean sauce:
"Wonderful vibrant colour with a fabulous fresh aroma. A true taste of the Mediterranean. Outstanding flavours from the olives and artichokes — fresh, zingy and perfectly balanced."
