Great Taste 2-Star Award

We have some incredible news to share -and it goes beyond just one gold star ✨

Opus Extra Virgin Olive Oil has just received TWO GOLD STARS at the Great Taste Awards 2025, the UK’s most well known blind-tasting competition. Judges described Opus olive oil as “above and beyond delicious” - a true honour for a small independent producer like us.

But flavour and taste is just one part of the story. 

🥇 Multiple Awards. One Philosophy.

Over the years, we have been honoured across three distinct types of competitions -each one celebrating a different strength of our olive oil:

🌿 Health Awards

  • Olympia Health & Nutrition Awards 2025World Olive Center*London International Olive Oil Competition (LIOOC – Health Category) 2024
    Recognizing our oil's exceptionally high polyphenol content, which is linked to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

👩🔬 Quality Awards

  • LIOOC – Quality Category
    Evaluated by chemical analysis and expert tasters, confirming the purity, freshness, and excellence of our production.

🍽️ Taste Awards

  • Great Taste Awards 2025 – 2 Gold Stars
    Judged completely blind by chefs, critics, and food buyers - proving that our oil delivers not just function, but flavour and great taste.

🎯 The Sweet Spot: Health and Flavour

Hitting the balance between high polyphenols and great taste is no small feat. Many extremely high-phenolic oils (over 1,000 mg/kg) can be harsh or overly bitter - but Opus is different.

We achieve that balance because our olive oil sommelier personally oversees every step of production. Our agronomist ensures our grove in Messinia is managed using the most advanced, sustainable and regenerative farming practices.  Both professionals are members of the same family that owns the olive grove.

Together, we control the process from field to bottle -so what you get is the real thing, made with intention and expertise.

💰 Fair Price. No Smoke and Mirrors.

We don’t charge inflated prices for flashy packaging and bloated marketing.
As producers, not middlemen, we’re able to offer premium olive oil at a price that reflects real and accessible value - not theatrics.  No fake "direct from farmer" claims. Just real food from our family to yours.
