Award-winning Villa Nai 3.3 has added to its impressive collection of first prizes for its incredible olive oil with the Gold Award for its Coratina oil at the New York International Olive Oil Competition 2023 and the Gold Medal for its Drobnica oil at Olive Japan 2023 in Tokyo. These are world-renowned contests, and the competition is fierce. To win the top accolades at two globally recognised championships is exceptional.

A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, nestled on the island of Dugi Otok in the heart of Dalmatia, Villa Nai 3.3's world-renowned olive oil is made from impeccable fruit from its ancient 500-year-old olive groves, which cover more than 40,000sqm, with every drop created by hand. www.villanai.com

At the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the world's largest review of olive oils from around the world, Nai 3.3 Olive Oil outperformed competitors to be awarded a highly sought-after gold medal. Nai 3.3 Olive Oil repeated this incredible accolade at Olive Japan 2023, where its gold standard was recognised as a particularly outstanding achievement.

Olive oil is a way of life on Dugi Otok, a source of wealth, health, and pleasure. Snow on the island leads to abundant olive oil harvests, but it is a rare occurrence, lasting only for an average of 3.3 days. The name 'Nai', meaning 'snow' in the now-extinct Old-Dalmatic language from the Adriatic, symbolises the huge efforts of dedicated olive growers to nurture the 500-year-old olive trees and produce “liquid gold” olive oil.

Made in its exclusive private mill, Nai 3.3 Olive Oil is created in compliance with the most rigorous organic standards. One of the secrets behind Villa Nai 3.3's exquisite multi-award-winning olive oil is the early harvest of more than 100-year-old olive trees and young fruit, which are processed on the same day. In addition to the oil mill and production, Villa Nai 3.3 proudly organises Olive Oil Days, with oil tastings, harvests, themed dinners, growers' gatherings, and informative lectures.

“To win these awards takes dedication and passion. I am incredibly committed to producing the finest olive oil in the world and the recipient of the Gold Award for Villa Nai's Coratina oil at the New York International Olive Oil Competition 2023 and the Gold Medal for its Drobnica oil at Olive Japan 2023 in Tokyo is a testament to our devotedness in maintaining our high standards to produce the award-winning olive oil.” Comments Goran Morović, owner of Villa Nai 3.3
