TRE Olive Earns Two Medals at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition

Recognition from the world's most respected olive oil competition affirms TRE Olive's commitment to quality and sustainable farming practices

East Longmeadow, MA (March 12, 2026) — TRE Olive, a producer of premium extra virgin olive oils, announced it has been awarded two Silver Medals at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for its TRE Olive AO Extra Virgin Olive Oil and its TRE Olive Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The honor places TRE Olive among a select group of producers recognized by the world's largest and most influential olive oil quality competition.

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held annually in New York, is widely regarded as the definitive standard for olive oil excellence. Each year, an international panel of expert judges evaluates thousands of oils from dozens of countries, awarding medals only to those that demonstrate exceptional flavor, aroma, and quality. A Silver Medal is among the most coveted recognitions in the global olive oil industry.

The award-winning TRE Olive AO Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced using organic farming practices – without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The AO label reflects the olive oil’s organic certification in the European Union; the United States distribution warehouse was not inspected in time for USDA certification.

TRE Olive Select Olive Oil is a well-balanced extra virgin olive oil that is slightly sharp and has a peppery finish. It’s made with 100% Carolea olives that are selected when the olives are perfect for making olive oil.

"Receiving recognition at the NYIOOC is an incredible honor and a validation of everything our family believes in," said Joe Maruca, Owner of TRE Olive. "Our oil represents who we are — producers who care deeply about quality, purity, and the land our olives come from. We are grateful for these awards as it validates our commitment to doing things the right way.”

TRE Olive sources its olives from their generations-old family groves where every harvest is handled with precision to preserve the natural complexity of the fruit. From grove to bottle, the company maintains strict quality standards to ensure that each oil that bears the TRE Olive name delivers an exceptional experience, undiluted by lesser quality oils.
 

TRE Olive AO and TRE Olive Select are available for purchase at www.treolive.com and at select retailers.
