Third ‘Olive Japan’ Focuses on Consumers and Olive Oil Quality

Organizers said nearly 200,000 Japanese consumers joined 53 extra virgin olive oil exhibitors and expert olive oil tasters from ten countries to celebrate extra virgin olive oil quality for the third edition of Olive Japan, sponsored by the Olive Oil Sommelier Association of Japan. Toshiya Tada, founder and chairman of the Olive Oil Sommelier Association of Japan and the event organizer, was pleased with the outcome. “The great success of Olive Japan 2014 is the result of the co-operation and contribution by many people dedicated to two key things — quality and the consumer,” he said.
