Organic olive oil, not only in the Mediterranean

The Award for Best Olive Oil ensures an objective assessment of the growing number of olive oils presented at BioFach. In 2007 were over 60 exhibitors from 10 countries with their oil, the vast majority in the bar of olive oil. They included not only the classic producers such as Italy, Spain and Greece, but also other European countries, "exotic" like Cyprus and Albania. 
Along with the overseas countries are already in this market, as Chile and Australia, will be the first Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Palestine. 

World production of olive oil: 2.86 million tonnes

Bar of Olive Oils of BioFach gives visitors a wide range of potential insight into the subject of olive oil. The first provides an overview of all the oils listed above, with precise indication of the type and source, and the number of the stand. So you can prepare an individual tasting, after consultation or on its own initiative. Anyone who wishes to deepen the subject and learn more about flavors, categories and professional evaluation of olive oils, may participate in tastings to take place several times a day. Presentations of experts to be held at the Forum will provide information about the Community legislation on oil. The new Award for Best Olive Oil offers a revealing assessment of the exhibited products. The grade of olive oil will take place in an anonymous fashion with coded samples. The evaluation system is numerical and ensures a homogeneous distribution of the samples and equal opportunities for all participants.

    I cook with a lot of olive oil, and I would be so fascinated to try some of these award winning oils. I have no “palate” for good oils (or good wine for that matter) adn I would love to develop a taste for detecting the truly good oils from those that are sliced with other lower grade oils.
