NZ Olive Oil Scoops Medals at International Competitions

Winners in two prestigious international Olive Oil competitions have just been announced and New Zealand features in both. At the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) Akaroa producers Robinsons Bay and Old French Road both won Gold for their EVOOs – backing up their respective Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show wins at the 2016 New Zealand Extra Virgin Olive Oil Awards.

At the Olive Japan Olive Oil Competition Telegraph Hill from Hawke’s Bay won three Gold and a Silver for their flavoured olive oils, while The D’Arc Grove from Wairarapa won Silver for their EVOO.

Congratulations to all the winners from the FOE and OG&P team. For a small producer base, NZ is certainly making its mark on the international EVOO stage.
