Winner of the First Prize
Delicate Green Fruitiness Category
The International Olive Council (IOC) Mario Solinas Quality Award is the most respected institutional competition in the olive oil world. It honors superior sensory excellence through blind tasting by an international jury of expert panel leaders using the official IOC methodology.
Tuperci • Extraordinary Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Uruguay
From Tree to Table in Hours
Tuperci is born in the rolling hills of Casupá, Uruguay — the heart of an emerging olive region. Ernesto Singer planted his first trees in 2004 and built his own mill (almazara) on the estate in 2014.
This allows the olives to be harvested at the perfect moment and processed within hours, preserving every delicate aroma and flavor.
Style: Delicate Green Fruitiness — elegant, refined, with subtle green notes and exceptional balance.
A Masterpiece of Delicate Elegance
This award-winning oil shines with finesse rather than power. Light, harmonious, and beautifully complex — ideal for finishing dishes where subtlety enhances every bite.
Aroma
Subtle green notes, fresh herbs, light tomato leaf, and delicate floral hints
Flavor
Elegant green fruitiness with balanced bitterness and a smooth, lingering finish

Refined and versatile — perfect for salads, seafood, white meats, and drizzling over fresh bread
