Additional information concerning the project:

International Olive Oil Award (IOOA) / 2014

The selection of sensorically excellent “extra virgin” olive oils, due to objective criteria, is done in the context of the 13th International Olive Oil Award – Zurich 2014.

The evaluation of the olive oils takes place in March 2014 by the Swiss Olive Oil Panel (SOP) of the ZHAW, which is accredited since October 2006 according to ISO 17025 (STS 240; www.ilgi.zhaw.ch/sensorik) as well as by the International Olive Council (IOC) in Madrid (recognition 2013/2014). The members of the SOP are regularly trained in accordance to and on the base of the regulations of the IOC. A neutral and objective evaluation of the participating olive oils is therefore ensured on an international standard.

For participants it is additionally possible to let their olive oils be analyzed chemically (4 parameters). The Evaluation is available for a special package-price.
