The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition will begin unveilÂing award winÂners in the Southern Hemisphere diviÂsion of the annual qualÂity conÂtest.
Competition orgaÂnizÂers said they would release the results in three batches, with the first winÂners announced on Monday, September 4th, at 9:00 AM in New York (14:00 UTC). More results will be released in mid-September, and the final outÂcomes will be announced in early October.
Earlier this year, the NYIOOC revealed the winÂners from Northern Hemisphere counÂtries.
Producers in the Northern Hemisphere harÂvest from September to January, while most Southern Hemisphere growÂers colÂlect their fruits from March through July. The NYIOOC conÂducts its analyÂses accordÂingly and pubÂliÂcizes the two sets of results to inform the pubÂlic and food indusÂtry proÂfesÂsionÂals on top-rated brands at their peak of freshÂness.
Award-winÂning brands are preÂsented in the Official Guide to the World’s Best Olive Oils and in parÂticÂuÂlar secÂtions of Olive Oil Times.
More than 1,100 brands from 30 counÂtries have parÂticÂiÂpated in the 2023 NYIOOC, the eleventh ediÂtion of the world’s largest and most presÂtiÂgious olive oil qualÂity comÂpeÂtiÂtion.
