Saturday is the last day olive oil brands can be registered in the 2014 New York International Olive Oil Competition, where an international jury will once again award the year’s best olive oils from more than 600 entries.
Winners will be announced to the international media at a press conference on April 10 from New York’s International Culinary Center and publicized all year through countless media outlets around the world.
Winning producers will gain access to a network of quality-driven distributors and merchants who tap the competition results to stock their shelves.
March 15 will be the final day for producers and marketers to register their olive oil brands and participate in this year’s event.
Curtis Cord, NYIOOC president and publisher of Olive Oil Times, called the competition “the most publicized olive oil competition in the world, where winning companies benefit from an unprecedented year-long campaign to draw attention to their achievements.”
