AWARDS

Since our first olives were harvested in 1998, Olio Bello has steadily gained a significant amount of industry recognition by receiving numerous national and local awards including Gold, Silver and Bronze medals over the past 22 harvests.

Our 2020 oils have been awarded three medals, taking our overall total awards to over 153 medals.

Olio Bello can modestly boast, that it is one of the most awarded boutique single estate certified organic producers of extra virgin olive oil in Australia and the only Olive Grower in Western Australia to be awarded the much coveted and prized Australian award of "National Grower of the Year."

In 2020, Olio Bello's harvest continued despite the odds during  the COVID-19 WA lockdown, resulting in a solid production and three silver medals.
