Central Coast Olive Oil Competition announces winners
–The Central Coast Olive Oil Competition has released the results from the 2021 competition, which featured premier oils produced across California. Pleasant Valley Farms, hailing from Aptos, emerged as the producer of the Best of Show entry along with Lodi’s Calivirgin taking Best of Show Flavored.
“Just over 75-percent of the entries were awarded medals this year and considering all that 2020 brought, it was a good year for California olive oils, especially the Central Coast,” said Chief Judge Paul Vossen. “It was nice to see so many different olive varietals being represented at the competition as single cultivar oils or blends”.
“It was very exciting to kick the year off with the competition and taste the quality oils entered this year. I am already looking forward to 2022,” added Vossen.
All entries were also judged on their labels as part of the Central Coast Packaging and Design Competition. Awards included Best Single Bottle Label, Best Series of Labels, Best Packaging of a Single Bottle, and Best Packaging of a Series of Bottles.
