Historically cultivated in a few square kilometers in central-southern Italy, the Coroncina olive variety was thrust onto the world stage at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. A Coroncina monovarietal extra virgin olive oil milled from 65 ancient olive trees spanning a single hectare earned a Gold Awardin its World Competition debut.

“It was our first time,” said Giancarlo Biagioli, an expert taster and owner of Biagioli Farm. “While we already knew that our extra virgin olive oil was good, the Gold Award in New York confirmed that we are doing what it takes to bring Coroncina to the world stage.”
