Here is the roundup of Finalists by category that immediately earn the Great Mention, incredible oil made by serious and reliable producers.

Here is the roundup of Finalists by category that immediately earn the Great Mention, or incredible products made by serious and reliable manufacturers.

You will also find the organoleptic analysis updated to the last production season that the Leone Panel made of them.

I remind you that the oil evolves, the same product in December will have slightly different characteristics than in August, but when you reach such levels of excellence the only certainty is that the oil will be for long time a pleasure for the nose and mouth.

I renew the invitation to contact the producers directly and buy these “champagne”, hoping they still have some bottles.

We support producers and who save the biodoversity

After seven years of Leone it’s time to give the right space to everyone, for this reason the producers who will be Finalist after having already won at least 2 FIRST PRIZES of CATEGORY, from this year will compete at the TOP in a clash without limits of category or origin. All against all and the FIRST PLACE will earn the title of THE PERFECT EVOO:

THE “LEONE 100/100”

BEST PACKAGING 2024

It was a very difficult choice but we explain it to you this way: all the finalists have beautiful packaging, all of a finesse and attention to detail that fill us with joy because finally more and more people understand the importance of a beautiful dress on an EVOO of the highest quality as yours.

Of “Orci” (Ceramic Jars) even if you see many now, I will never stop remembering the problem of the rubber cap that often stinks and the wood fungi that is used to close it that often does not hold and then in addition to let in air, and then speed up oxidation, lets out oil if not kept perfectly straight. 

That said, we still chose the double packaging of Grotte De Angelis because the label is extremely elegant, a very beautiful material even to the touch, has the anti-bite cap and there is in three formats. The rest of the packaging consists of beautiful creations designed for the wedding market (to be exploited more and more’) that include plate, cup, jar and white ceramic cutting board that, with a simple heart/ balloon, recalled us Banksy’s strong message for a world with more Peace. 

In the year of too many wars we liked to choose the not obvious lightness of Good and Love. 

Completes the choice a jar with a puppy of olive variety Coratina…

Won’t be the other finalists get hurt, we know that all the packaging chosen would have deserved to win, but now you know, there is only one  Leone, and the medalists do not match our idea of competition . We look forward to see you next year and may it be a wonderful season!

Maripa ❤️
