Summary Summary

The 2019 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition win­ners will be unveiled in New York on May 10, fol­lowed by the Olive Oil Sommelier Program at the International Culinary Center’s Soho cam­pus on May 13 where 40 par­tic­i­pants will learn to iden­tify award-win­ning olive oils for them­selves. The pro­gram, now in its eighth edi­tion, offers a com­pre­hen­sive cur­ricu­lum in olive oil qual­ity assess­ment and is lim­ited to 40 par­tic­i­pants, with reg­is­tra­tion open until spots are filled.

On May 10, two hun­dred pro­duc­ers, food indus­try pro­fes­sion­als and jour­nal­ists from around the world will gather in New York’s East Village for the offi­cial unveil­ing of the win­ners of the 2019 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition.

A few days later, on May 13, the six-day Olive Oil Sommelier Program returns to the International Culinary Center’s Soho cam­pus, where 40 par­tic­i­pants will learn how to iden­tify an award-win­ning olive oil for them­selves.

This will be the eighth edi­tion of the widely acclaimed pro­gram that focuses on olive oil qual­ity assess­ment, cul­ti­va­tion and his­tory, har­vest­ing and pro­duc­tion, health ben­e­fits, chem­istry, regions and cul­ti­vars, stan­dards and grades, culi­nary appli­ca­tions and con­sumer edu­ca­tion.

Courses are offered each year in San Francisco, New York and London.

An inter­na­tional fac­ulty of renowned experts will guide stu­dents through more than 100 olive oil sam­ples from every region in the world’s most com­pre­hen­sive cur­ricu­lum in olive oil qual­ity assess­ment.

The course is lim­ited to 40 par­tic­i­pants and the upcom­ing New York edi­tion will soon sell out, as did the most recent one in London. There, 37 suc­cess­fully com­pleted the pro­gram to earn their cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and join nearly 200 peo­ple from 26 coun­tries in the reg­istry of olive oil som­me­liers.

Registration for the New York course will remain open until the lim­ited num­ber of avail­able spots are filled.
