The World's Best Olive Olis website synthesizes the results of the world's seven major olive oil competitions every year to produce a ranking of the world's best olive oil products, and Xiangyu's 30th place on the list in 2017-2018 is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mediterranean brands.
 
Xiangyu can be described as a "national treasure" brand, and the trademark is taken from Premier Zhou's "Xiangyu". It is the only production-oriented enterprise in the drafting unit of the Chinese national standard for olive oil GB 23347-2009. He won a silver medal at the Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition and was voted "the best extra virgin olive oil in the Northern Hemisphere" at the Australian International Olive Oil Competition.
 
In China, Longnan, Gansu Province, has the same latitude as the Mediterranean region, with 1911.7 hours of sunshine per year, and has abundant sunny slopes, which is the most suitable area for growing olives. The local olive planting area reaches 546,000 mu, accounting for 63.4% of the country's olive planting area, and the olive oil production alone accounts for 90% of the country's total. In Longnan City, Wudu District has the best production conditions and the most obvious agglomeration effect. Xiangyu, including Tianyuan, which won the first prize in the 2018 IOC Mario Solinas Ripe Fruit category, are local olive oil brands that have passed the certification of China's "Geographical Indication Protected Products".
 
But the scale of production of "Pastoral" is far inferior to that of Xiangyu. Xiangyu itself has tens of thousands of acres of national olive planting demonstration base, and was the first to implement order agriculture, integrating 186,000 acres of olive planting area in 14 towns and towns in Wudu District, and obtaining the most adequate raw material reserves.
 
The olives used in Xiangyu are hand-picked at the early stage of ripening in October, and cold pressed within 8 hours to ensure the freshness of the oil. In order to achieve the maximum amount of delivery, Xiangyu olive oil is first stored in a constant temperature, light, and oxygen storage depot at 15°C-22°C after pressing, and the new oil is bottled and sold in January every year. As a result, Xiangyu olive oil is also fresher than imported olive oil that has lost nearly half a year's shelf life on the way across the Mediterranean. However, due to the late start of the domestic olive oil industry as a whole, the technical experience is still immature, and the production cost is high, resulting in the extremely low cost performance of the product, which seriously affects its market development.
 
The Manor series, which won the bronze medal at the Los Angeles Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition in 2017, is Xiangyu's most affordable product, and 500ml is also sold at a high price of 150 yuan. It is pressed with a mixture of picual and josiblanca imported from Spain, but the fruitiness is lighter, not as sweet as the piquar oil of Spanish brands such as Pinley, because it is harvested earlier in October, it also has a certain bitterness, and the acidity can meet the basic standard of less than 0.8%.
 
Less than 0.8% is the acidity performance of most of Xiangyu's products, and high-end lines such as green premium and black porcelain bottles are no exception. In 2017, Green Privilege won the silver medal at the Los Angeles Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition, and was the main force for Xiangyu to be on the list of the world's best olive oil products. The variety Pichaoli used is a green olive native to France, with good resistance, high oil yield and good adaptability in China. After oil extraction, the green fruit flavor is strong, bitter and spicy is clear, and 500ml is sold for 199 yuan.
 
White jade bottled extra virgin olive oil, Xiangyu's most high-end product, milky white streamlined bottle body shows temperament, can be called a good gift. This model is single-fruit pressed with an acidity as low as 0.4% for high quality. After the entrance, the tip of the tongue is sweet, the root of the tongue is bitter and spicy, and the layers are distinct, and it may be too stimulating for some people to drink directly, and it can be mixed with juice to take it, but the price of 150mL is as high as 138 yuan, and 1 ml is close to 1 yuan, which is more expensive than the most high-end products of any Mediterranean brand.
