EXTRABIO AWARD 2020, THE WINNERS
It took place on Thursday 9 luglio 2020 presso la Chamber of Commerce of Naples the awards ceremony for the Extrabio Award 2020, competition reserved exclusively for Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Campania obtained from olives certified as organic.
An award ceremony in a reduced form and in compliance with the containment and anti-contagion measures from Covid-19, but extremely significant, as evidence of the very high level of quality and extraordinary biodiversity of the regional olive growing panorama.
The competition, nato nel 2006, it is the result of the synergy between the Campania Region con la Coldiretti Campania regional federation, the Camera di Commercio di Napoli, Yes Enterprise and theAssociation of Associated Sensory Analysts.
This year too, the response from the regional organic sector was surprising: among the applications received from companies, have been selected 46, along with 54 oils admitted to the competition.
