Cobram Estate’s Black Label Hojiblanca Extra Virgin Olive Oil was announced as the best oil in the Southern Hemisphere at what is considered the most stringent and highly regarded of all olive oil competitions in the world – the ‘Oscars’ of the olive oil industry.
Almost 160 samples of extra virgin olive oil from 13 countries took part in the competition, ran by the International Olive Council, the world’s only international organisation in the field of olive oil and table olive producers and stakeholders, set up in Madrid in 1959 with the support of the United Nations.
Cobram Estate’s chief oil maker, Leandro Ravetti, in accepting the award said, “We have proven that it was possible to build the number one brand of extra virgin olive oil in Australia without compromising on quality, and that allows farmers like us to sustainably continue growing olives and producing extra virgin olive oil for the generations to come.”
Founded along the banks of the Murray River in Boundary Bend, Cobram Estate is Australia’s most trusted and awarded extra virgin olive oil since 1998.
