The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition is the largest olive oil quality contest and its annual listing of award winners is widely considered the most trusted guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils.

Olive oils were evaluated by a panel of 18 expert judges from 13 countries. The representative from Croatia/Istria was Dr Karolina Brkić Bubola. Prizes were awarded for Best in Class, Gold and Silver according to the category Delicate, Medium, Robust, for blends and monovarietal extra virgin olive oils.
