Curtis Cord, publisher of the specialized magazine "Olive Oil Times," founded the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) in 2013. With participants from all over the world, the event quickly became the largest olive oil competition in the world. Around 1,000 extra virgin olive oils participate in the NYIOOC every spring. In 2021, participation reached a new record with 1,171 samples.
The expert panel of the New York International Olive Oil Competition comes from the leading olive oil-producing nations (Spain, Italy, Greece, USA, Croatia, etc.) and is specially trained to recognize both the positive and negative properties of an oil. The professionals evaluate the submitted olive oils and then award the gold and silver medal winners. The official results are presented publicly and are eagerly awaited annually by a large number of enthusiasts. Our NYIOOC Silver Medal Set, specially created for you, contains three Spanish extra virgin olive oils that vary significantly in taste and aroma.
Because the New York International Olive Oil Competition is the largest international olive oil event, the gold and silver medal winners receive the utmost attention. At the awards ceremony, which spans several days, numerous journalists from all over the world gather annually to publicize the winning oils.
Therefore, the NYIOOC silver medal is not just a recognition of quality, but it is also associated with great publicity worldwide. Importers and wholesalers, as well as Michelin-starred chefs and restaurant owners, are guided by the experts' opinion and select their olive oils from the NYIOOC medal winners. Therefore, it is quite possible that with one of our oils from the NYIOOC Silver Medal Set, you are using the same olive oil as the chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant in London or Paris.
