IOOA 07

All registered oils take part in two events and have the “double chance” to gain an award. Both events are organized and accomplished together from the University of Applied Sciences Waedenswil (HSW) and the Edition Salz & Pfeffer.

The objective selection of sensorically excellent “extra virgin” olive oils took place in the context of the „6th International Olive Oil Award – Zurich 2007". The tastings took place in March 2007 with the Swiss Olive Oil Panel (Sensory Panel Olive Oil of the University of Applied Sciences Waedenswil). The members of the test group are constantly trained in accordance to the regulations of the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC). Therefore the neutral and objective evaluation of the participating olive oils is ensured.



Again this year, there was the possibility to let the Olive Oils be analyzed chemically (4 parameters) for a special package-price.

The conditions of participation in the „6th International Olive Oil Award - Zurich 2007“ and the “Olio 2007” are available in the enclosed due Regulations 2007.
