Stella Cadente Olive Oil Company Continues to Garner Accolades |
Three of the Stella Cadente Olive Oil Company’s artisanal oils were awarded medals at the 8th Annual Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition, formerly known as Oils of the World. One of the most prestigious and rigorous competitions of its type, the panel of judges are chosen from both the culinary and academic arenas and have some of the best olive oil palates worldwide.
One of the company’s best sellers, the 2007 L’Autunno Blend Extra Virgin oil received a Gold Medal in the Medium Intensity category. The L’Autunno Blend is a consistent year-to-year winner in this annual competition, having received Best in Class and Best in Show awards in 2003 and 2006. It is produced from a blend of four classic Tuscan varietals grown exclusively in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. Stella Cadente’s newest release, the 2007 Basil Oil was awarded a Bronze in the Delicate category, and their 2007 Persian Lime oil captured a Silver for the second year in a row. The flavored oils are produced by cold pressing the fruit or herb directly with the Late Harvest Mission olives, and are characterized by clean, clear flavors of both the olive and the fruit or herb.
Stella Cadente Olive Oil Company produces Estate grown olives and a variety of artisan extra virgin and flavored olive oils exclusively in Northern California. They are featured at restaurants and retailers throughout California and across the United States, and the American Feast web site.
