The IOC has published the list of winners and finalists of the 1st edition of the Mario Solinas Quality Awards for extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) from the Southern Hemisphere. This year, the world's most prestigious international and institutional competition for quality EVOOs received 26 samples from 4 countries. The winning and finalist oils were evaluated by an international jury composed of several heads of tasting panels recognised by the IOC.
The results of this year's Mario Solinas Quality Awards for Southern Hemisphere EVOOs are available here in English, French and Spanish.
The Mario Solinas Quality Awards, which have been running since the 2000/2001 season, aim to improve the quality of EVOO production worldwide. The competition encourages individual producers, producer associations and packers in producing countries to market EVOOs with harmonious organoleptic characteristics. It also aims to raise consumer awareness of this unique product, encouraging them to recognise and appreciate the sensory attributes of these high quality olive oils. This year, and for the first time, the IOC has launched the first edition of the Mario Solinas Quality Awards for the countries of the southern hemisphere in collaboration with Uruguay.
The awards ceremony will be held in Montevideo (Uruguay) on Thursday 7 November 2024, in the framework of the next IOC institutionally sponsored event entitled ‘II Latin American Olive Oil Congress (CLAO2024)’ which will take place on 8 and 9 November 2024.
The IOC would like to take this opportunity to thank all the producers who participated in the first edition of the IOC Mario Solinas Quality Awards in the Southern Hemisphere. We look forward to your participation next year as well.
