Upon arrival at the destination, a double key is used, always authenticated, with the aim of certifying the integrity and confidentiality of the results. In the 2023/2024 edition of the Expoliva International Award, 137 olive oil samples were collected from different countries, including Spain, Italy, France, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.

Speaking of olive oil
The fruity Potenza extra virgin olive oil blend was created by olive oil sommelier and master press at Fazenda Serra dos Tapes, Cláudia Santos. With a maximum acidity of 0.14%, the product is prepared with the Arbequina, Coratina and Frantoio olive varieties.
According to her, the difference between Potenza Frutado is the coratina variety. Normally used in more intense blends, Cláudia has achieved an ideal proportion, guaranteeing an oil that, although fruity, is rich in herbaceous and floral aromas. Potenza Frutado is ideal with risottos, white meats, cheeses, delicate sauces, salads, seafood and desserts.
