Olio Nece Awarded Gold at Olive Japan 2026

Olio Nece has been awarded the Gold Award at Olive Japan, one of the world's most respected international competitions dedicated to extra virgin olive oil.

Organized annually in Japan, Olive Japan brings together producers from across the globe and is recognized as an important benchmark for quality within the international olive oil community.

For Olio Nece, this recognition represents another important milestone in a journey dedicated to producing authentic Tuscan extra virgin olive oil rooted in quality, traceability and respect for the land.

Produced by Mezzecrete Società Agricola in the rolling hills of the Crete Senesi near Siena, Olio Nece is obtained from carefully selected olives harvested while still green and cold extracted within hours to preserve freshness, aromatic complexity and polyphenol content.

The Gold Award at Olive Japan joins other recent international recognitions received by the estate, confirming the appreciation of Tuscan extra virgin olive oil among expert tasting panels around the world.

While awards are never the final goal, they represent an important validation of the work carried out every year in the olive grove and throughout the production process.

From Tuscany to Japan, Olio Nece continues its mission of sharing the culture of authentic extra virgin olive oil internationally.
