• Particularly noteworthy are the honors received at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC), where our AOVE has won seven gold medals and one silver.

SIQEV International Quality Seal.

Beyond the awards mentioned, 5 Elementos AOVE from La Pontezuela has held the SIQEV (Seal International Quality Extra Virgin) certification since 2015—an international seal granted by the QvExtra! producers’ association, exclusively to oils that meet the highest standards in terms of organoleptic qualities, nutritional properties, abundance of health-promoting compounds, and full traceability, from the olive grove to the bottle.

In fact, the standards required to display this seal on the bottles are far more demanding than the already strict regulations of the International Olive Council. Moreover, compliance must be verified by external experts through random inspections at origin and at points of sale.

Additionally, annual sampling of the oils is required to verify compliance with various physical, chemical, and organoleptic parameters in independent laboratories that follow the ISO 17025 quality standard.

Thus, 5 Elementos AOVE from La Pontezuela benefits from the prestigious SIQEV quality seal, is awarded in competitions worldwide, and—most importantly—enjoys the trust and satisfaction of countless national and international customers.
