No distinction can promote your brand better than an international award received in the olive’s ancestral homeland.

Such a recognition, attested by a medal and an honorary diploma, as well as a host of marketing initiatives, will help boost sales and promote your brand globally, not only through the competition’s publicity, but also through the judges themselves, who are opinion leaders both in their native lands and on the international stage.

The competition, which has already won the respect of some of the most important international judges and eminent persons from the olive oil industry worldwide, contributes substantially and directly to increased sales for all prize-winning products.

As a participant you will receive a letter with your score and jury comments, including a “spider web” chart of your oil’s sensory data, if the sample is not defective. If your olive oil is awarded a medal you will receive by registered mail your diploma and a real, hand-made medal from a high-purity copper alloy. Gold and double gold medals are gold plated. All medals come with a blue ribbon so as to be displayed on your EVOO bottles in your office and in exhibitions. All of these benefits, as well as your invitation to the award ceremony and reception are included in your initial participation cost. At ATHENA IOOC there are no extra hidden costs!
