      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blauel.gr/news/news/Entries/2010/5/12_Gold_in_Milan_files/monocultivar.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.blauel.gr/news/news/Media/object002_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:182px; height:211px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Good News from Greece! &lt;br/&gt;Mani-Bläuel extra virgin olive oil has been awarded again. This winter (and maybe some hard work?) has provided us with the most exquisite olive oil it seems. Surely the most successful in terms of awards we ever seen. &lt;br/&gt;Two great awards in Italy among mainly Italian oils with Italian tasters is something very very special for a Greek olive oil:&lt;br/&gt;First a Gold Award at the expo &amp;amp; competition &amp;quot;Monocultivaroliveoil&amp;quot; held May 8 to 9, organized by Frantoi Celletti Cultivar in Milan.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.monocultivaroliveoil.com/1expo.aspx&quot;&gt;http://www.monocultivaroliveoil.com/1expo.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is the only olive oil competition dedicated to oils from a single variety only. In our case Koroneiki. &lt;br/&gt;The second award was a DIPLOMA DI GRAN MENZIONE in Parma at the competition: 4th International Olive Oil Competition &amp;quot;ARMONIA&amp;quot; -ALMA Trophy- with 293 participating olive oils. The results can be seen on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oliveoilagency.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=frontpage&amp;Itemid=9&quot;&gt;site of International Oliveoil Agency&lt;/a&gt;, the organizer of the competition. &lt;br/&gt;That makes unbelievable 5 very prestigious awards for our oil of the harvest 2009/2010 so far.   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=167599&amp;id=350248581333&amp;ref=mf&quot;&gt;More photographs of the competitions and the winners you can see here.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;PS these oils are available here:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mani-shop.com/&quot;&gt;http://mani-shop.com&lt;/a&gt; (in English, shipping to all of Europe)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mani-shop.de/&quot;&gt;http://mani-shop.de&lt;/a&gt; (in German, shipping within Germany)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://biolive.at/&quot;&gt;http://biolive.at/&lt;/a&gt; (the Austrian shop) </description>
