Mario Solinas Quality Awards – 25th Edition

MADRID, SPAIN / 15.01.2025

Submissions of Northern Hemisphere Oils Accepted Until 14 February 2025

The Mario Solinas Quality Award, an annual initiative of the International Olive Council (IOC) since the 2000/01 crop year, celebrates excellence in extra virgin olive oils from across the globe.

The rules for the Northern Hemisphere are available here in English, French, and Spanish, offering guidance for this prestigious competition.

This non-for-profit award aims to spotlight the finest extra virgin olive oils, encouraging producers, associations, and packers to uphold superior quality standards. It also serves to educate consumers about the remarkable characteristics of these oils. Through rigorous evaluation, the competition identifies harmonious extra virgin olive oils that demonstrate exceptional organoleptic qualities within the defined categories.

Producers interested in participating must ensure their samples and required documentation reach the IOC headquarters between Tuesday and Friday, no later than 14 February 2025.

IOC Headquarters Address: Calle Príncipe de Vergara 154, 28002 Madrid, Spain.
