We finally received the results from the Olive Oils of the World competition, held in conjunction with the LA County Fair. This is one of the premier olive oil competitions in the entire world. For 2008, more than 500 olive oils from all around the globe were entered into the blind tasting. We are proud to announce that our Foothills Blend won Best of Class, baby. In truth, fewer than 3 olive oils (3!) were better than ours this year… Not too shabby for a small company from a small town in the US. We have consistently been awarded a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal in the blind competition, so we are very happy to have made it to the next level.

I can hear that Champagne cork popping RIGHT NOW.
