Organized by the Interregional Association of Olive Producers, the award best represents the Italian olive oil sector and promotes competition among national companies and those across the Mediterranean basin. It evaluates their performance through a panel recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Forests, specialized in certifying high-quality oils. Participants in the competition can rely on the analysis of a laboratory accredited by the International Olive Council (IOC), which objectively verifies the organoleptic characteristics of their oils.
