At the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, organic olive oils significantly dominated top award positions, with 249 awards out of 383 organic entries. That represents a rapid increase in both participation and high-level recognition for certified organic producers.
Organic olive oils now constitute over one-third of all competition submissions, showing clear momentum toward organic production as the new standard for quality and sustainability.
In 2014, only 11 certified organic olive oils competed, and Apollo Olive Oil was honored to be one of them — earning two Gold Awards.
