The media- and communication-partner are the editors of "Salz & Pfeffer" (Swiss journal for catering and gastronomy).

IOOA 2013

The objective selection of sensorically excellent “extra virgin” olive oils was done in the context of the „12^thInternational Olive Oil Award – Zurich 2013". The tastings took place in March 2013 by the Swiss Olive Oil Panel (SOP) of the ZHAW, that is accredited since October 2006 according to ISO 17025 (STS 240; www.ilgi.zhaw.ch/sensorik). The members of the SOP are constantly trained in accordance to the regulations of the International Olive Oil Council (IOC). Therefore the neutral and objective evaluation of the participating olive oils was ensured.

For participants it was possible to get their Olive Oils chemically analyzed (4 parameters) for a special package-price.
