2011 Awards

Andante has had great success in 2011.

First, in June, there was Gold and Best of Class at the LA International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition. The LA competition is the biggest in the world and our Nocellara del Belice won the Robust/Intense cultivar category.

In August the Andante Medium Blend and the Andante Delicate Blend both won Gold at the SA Olive Awards. A Premium extra virgin olive oil we made for Olive Pride came in with a Silver.

And in September Andante won First Prize and the Consumers' Choice awards at the tenth Marco Zichella Awards. The Consumers' Choice is really voted on by producers and it was very satisfying knowing that our friends and peers enjoyed our oil.
