Miceli & Sensat Achieves Gold at NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition

Miceli & Sensat, an olive oil pro­ducer based in Italy, has been rec­og­nized at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, secur­ing two Gold Awards for their organic extra vir­gin olive oils (EVOOs). The com­pe­ti­tion, known for its rig­or­ous stan­dards, high­lighted the qual­ity of Miceli & Sensat​’s prod­ucts.

The award-win­ning entries from Miceli & Sensat include ​‘U’Ciuri’, which received a Gold Award in the Organic cat­e­gory. This EVOO is made from the Nocellara del Belice cul­ti­var and is part of the IGP Sicilia selec­tion that the com­pany curates annu­ally.

Another Gold Award was given to ​‘Verde’, an organic EVOO made from the Cerasuola cul­ti­var. ​‘Verde’ is noted for its fresh, veg­e­tal aro­mas, which include hints of green almonds, let­tuce, cel­ery, and unripe bananas.

Miceli & Sensat’s olive grove spans 115 hectares and includes 46,000 olive trees of five dif­fer­ent vari­eties: Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla, Cerasuola, Arbequina, and Picual. The com­pany processes its olives within two hours of har­vest­ing in its own mill to main­tain high organolep­tic qual­i­ties. The EVOOs are stored in a con­trolled envi­ron­ment with noble gases to pre­serve their qual­ity.

The World Olive Oil Competition is a pres­ti­gious event that rec­og­nizes excel­lence in olive oil pro­duc­tion glob­ally. Miceli & Sensat’s achieve­ments at the NYIOOC under­score the com­pa­ny’s com­mit­ment to pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity organic olive oils.

The win­ning brands are pre­sented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
