Olive Japan

The Olive Japan Competition is a prestigious international contest that evaluates the quality of extra virgin olive oils and flavored olive oils. Organized by the Olive Oil Sommelier Association of Japan (OSAJ), it is considered the largest olive oil competition in Asia and Oceania. A panel of international judges, including certified tasters, food scientists, and chefs, conducts blind tastings to assess the oils based on sensory attributes like flavor and aroma. The judging process is designed for fairness and impartiality, with strict protocols and limited daily samples to ensure accuracy.
