A New International Recognition for Crown of Baena

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Crown of Baena, has been awarded the Silver Medal at the 2026 edition of the ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition (ATHENA IOOC), one of the most prestigious and internationally recognized competitions in the olive oil sector.

This award represents an important recognition of the work we carry out every day at Peña de Baena, where tradition, respect for our land, and the constant pursuit of excellence are the pillars that guide every harvest.

An International Benchmark Competition

The ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition was founded in Greece, the historical birthplace of olive oil, with the aim of recognizing the finest olive oils in the world. Year after year, it brings together producers from numerous countries and is judged by an international panel of experts, tasters, and highly respected professionals from the olive oil industry.

The competition has established itself as one of the most important events for Extra Virgin Olive Oil producers, serving as an international showcase where quality, organoleptic characteristics, and excellence are rewarded.

Recognition of a Job Well Done

Receiving this medal is a great source of pride for our entire team. Behind every bottle are months of dedication, effort, and care at every stage of the process, from cultivating the olive groves to harvesting and producing the oil.

This recognition confirms that our commitment to quality, innovation, and respect for tradition continues to bear fruit. It also motivates us to keep working with the same passion that has accompanied us throughout the years.

This medal not only recognizes the quality of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but also the value of a unique land such as Baena and an olive-growing tradition that forms an essential part of our identity.

We will continue working to bring the very best of our land to every table while preserving the values that have guided us since the beginning.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
