And the World’s Best Olive Oil 2025 Is…

We are thrilled to share some exciting news from Orchards of Laila! At the prestigious Olio Nuovo Days Awards, held in Paris, our Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been awarded the Gold Medal in the 9th Quality Competition for the Northern Hemisphere harvest. This remarkable achievement highlights our commitment to excellence, sustainability, and the rich traditions of Lebanese olive oil production.

A Global Stage for Exceptional Olive Oils

The Olio Nuovo Days Awards is a renowned and respected competition in the world of olive oil, bringing together the finest producers from around the globe. The event celebrates the first pressing of the harvest and serves as a platform to recognize the best extra virgin olive oils based on their quality and flavour. Winning a Gold Medal in this highly competitive environment is a testament to the passion and dedication that goes into each bottle of our extra virgin olive oil.

A Nod to Craftsmanship & Tradition

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, made from the finest Souriana olives grown on our organic groves, is known for its bold and intense flavor profile. Pressed with care, it delivers a rich, peppery finish with hints of green almond, artichoke, and olive leaves, making it perfect for a wide range of dishes—from vibrant mezze to grilled meats and fresh salads. This Gold Medal recognition underscores the meticulous attention we put into every stage of production, from cultivation to pressing.

What sets us apart is not only the quality of the olives but also our deep respect for Lebanese tradition and sustainable farming practices. We take pride in crafting olive oil that reflects the heart of Lebanon’s terroir while maintaining the highest standards of organic farming and production.
