Dear Producer,
First of all, I would like to thank you for participating with your products in the 9th edition of the contest.
The 2024 EVO IOOC Italy had the participation of almost 700 products (EVOOs and Flavored) and was supported by a jury of 25 professionals who worked long and excellently in order to decree the victory of the outstanding products.
A total of 486 gold and silver medals were awarded by the jurors, and now we are only waiting to know who won one of the Best of Show trophies (Best International, Best in Class, Best of Country, and Special Awards) of the competition.
The location chosen for the Awards Ceremony is the Teatro Comunale Nicola Manfroce in Palmi. Starting Saturday, June 15 at 7:00 p.m. (CEST), in addition to the celebration of the winners of the 9th edition of EVO International and the awarding of the coveted trophies and medals, a series of events open to the public will take place. These will culminate with guided tasting tours, designed specifically for those who want to learn about the world’s extra virgin olive oil excellence. These tours will be conducted by the international judges of EVO IOOC Italy 2024, with the participation of the competition’s president, Dr. Lauro.
To participate in the ceremony, it is mandatory to communicate one’s presence with an e-mail to be sent to info@evo-iooc.com or by registering on the day of the awards ceremony, from 5:00 pm to 6:45 pm, at the booth closest to the awards stage.
It’s important for producers to register before the show so that we can better organize the awards ceremony.
During the event, registered winners can join us on stage to collect their awards.
For those who will not be able to follow the final stages of the contest “live”, we have provided international coverage of the event through live social feeds on the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/EVOIOOC).
