THE AWARDS

The Berlin GOOA Awards 2027

The Berlin GOOA Awards is one of the world's leading olive oil competitions, known for its strict blind-tasting process and expert jury.

A Berlin GOOA distinction is widely recognised as a mark of excellence and helps producers stand out in global markets.

Together with Elite Olive Oils and the Global EVOO Rankings, it forms a powerful benchmark system used by buyers, wholesalers, importers, chefs, and consumers to identify and select top-quality olive oils. These platforms increase visibility, build trust, and support stronger commercial opportunities for award-winning brands.
