Primicia Manzanilla has received a Gold Medal at the 2026 ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition. The award recognizes a 100% Manzanilla Cacereña EVOO produced in Extremadura.

The result is recorded with four unambiguous references: product, variety, competition and year. This precision presents the award as a verifiable entry in the Martín de Prado international record.

The 2026 ATHENA IOOC also awarded a Gold Medal to Primicia Picual. The Primicia collection therefore received two gold medals at the same competition, associated with two different single-varietal EVOOs.

For Primicia Manzanilla, this gold joins its 91 points and inclusion in the EVOOLEUM 2026 Top 100, as well as the 9.4/10 received in the IBEROLEUM Guide. Each distinction provides an independent reference for the product during 2026.
