Oleoestepa SCA once again establishes itself as a benchmark for quality in the extra virgin olive oil sector, after an outstanding harvest of awards at the 2024/2025 Best EVOO Awards in the Province of Seville, organized by the Seville Provincial Council.
In this 27th edition, the cooperatives associated with Oleoestepa received the top honors, reaffirming their commitment to excellence, sustainability and innovation in the production of high-quality extra virgin olive oils.
Undisputed protagonists at the Best EVOO Awards in Seville
- Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the Province of Seville 2024/2025: Inmaculada Concepción Cooperative, from La Roda de Andalucía. Marketed under the brand Estepa Virgen, this EVOO was praised by the jury for its intense green olive fruitiness, with hints of aromatic herbs, flowers and Mediterranean woodland. On the palate, it offers a perfect balance between sweetness, bitterness and pungency, delivering a long-lasting and harmonious sensory experience.
- Best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2024/2025: Cooperativa Olivarera de Pedrera. Marketed under the brand Egregio, this organic EVOO stands out for its green olive fruitiness with nuances of tomato, freshly cut grass and green banana. On the palate, it is powerful yet balanced, with a fresh and authentic character.
- Runner-up for Best EVOO in the Province of Seville: Olivarera San José, from Lora de Estepa. This cooperative, with numerous national and international awards, once again places one of its EVOOs among the most valued in the competition.
Oleoestepa, synonymous with excellence, quality and sustainability
The success of Oleoestepa’s associated cooperatives is a tribute to the work of more than 7,500 olive-growing families who are committed to producing truly extraordinary extra virgin olive oils, endorsed by the Estepa Designation of Origin.
“These awards reflect our collective effort and firm commitment to quality and sustainability,” said Álvaro Olavarría, General Manager of Oleoestepa SCA. “They not only recognize our associated cooperatives, but also the trust that thousands of consumers place in us every day.”
The recognition of Estepa Virgen and Egregio reinforces their position as benchmark brands in the high-quality EVOO market. In addition to this prestigious recognition, the awarded oils will be featured in promotional campaigns driven by the Seville Provincial Council to strengthen their presence nationally and internationally.
Commitment to the future of olive growing
The results of this edition confirm Oleoestepa’s leading role in the production of extra virgin olive oil through sustainable processes that respect the environment and guarantee traceability.
The official awards ceremony will take place on Monday, March 24, at an institutional event that will highlight the work and dedication of Seville’s olive growers — true guardians of a product that is essential to both gastronomy and health.
