Greek olive oils win big at Anatolian Oil Competition

·

Olive oils from all over Greece including Crete and the Peloponnese have taken home some high scores and even higher honours by winning Best in Class awards at this year’s Anatolian International Olive Oil Competition. 

Extra virgin olive oils and Greek flavoured oils won 18 gold awards, 21 silvers and 2 Monovarietal Best in Class awards. In the second year of this competition, 302 samples were evaluated by 25 judges. 

Cretan native, Pamako Organic Premium Monovarietal extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) took home three awards: a gold medal, a Monovarietal Best in Class distinction, and the Best of Country Award for Greece.

Founder of Pamako, Eftychis Androulakis told Greek Liquid Gold that he is very proud of these “amazing” awards from “our neighbour country Turkey.” He says he is “very happy to be among the best olive oils in this competition. 

“This gives us strength to make better and better olive oils every year.”

Another Monovarietal Best of Class award went to Terra Creta Grand Cru Koroneiki EVOO, also native to Crete.

Emmanouil Karpadakis is the olive oil innovation and area exports manager of Grand Cru’s and attributes a lot of their success to the natural Cretan environment and heritage in combination with a scientific approach throughout the harvesting and production chain.  

“The producers and teams of farmers who work with our agronomists throughout the year play a significant role in our success, and of course they benefit from this cooperation as well.”

This young competition saw the recognition of high quality oils from a number of well-established Greek olive oil companies produced throughout Greece.
