Drumroll Please!

One of the most decorated EVOO's entered in to this year's Los Angeles Olive Oil Competition,  the largest, oldest, and most prestigious olive oil competition in North America, just took Best of Show, Best of Class, and a Gold Medal in the Competition, in the Medium Intensity Category.  Furthermore, it is important to note that this oil won in the International Category which includes all producers who entered globally, minus all California producers, who strictly compete in a much smaller arena, only against other domestic producers, and never in the much larger International arena.  The three UP EVOO's in this magnificent olive oil blend are three single cultivars which Veronica Foods contracted to have made exclusively for our our company.  It is therefore exclusive to you and not available anywhere else!

The Ultra Premium oils in this highly decorated Ultra Premium EVOO blend oil include the following three fresh UP EVOO oils from Alonso Estate:
