Leone D’Oro

The Leone d’Oro is one of Italy’s oldest and most selective international olive oil competitions. It is known for its rigorous evaluation process, which is conducted by a professional panel of tasters that works year-round. Unlike some competitions that give many awards, Leone d’Oro is highly selective, with only oils scoring above 85/100 points being admitted to the competition. The top award, “Leone d’Oro,” is a prestigious honor that is given to only one producer in each category, highlighting the best of the best in the olive oil world. The competition also aims to help producers improve their quality by providing detailed feedback.
