Olive Oils From the Four Corners of the World

At AAIOOC, we believe that olive oil is more than just a product—it’s a universal story of culture, passion, and craftsmanship. This competition brings together premium extra virgin olive oils from every corner of the globe, highlighting their unparalleled quality, diversity, and innovation. From the robust flavors of North Africa and the delicate aromas of Asia to the bold profiles of European varietals and the unique creations from the Americas, the AAIOOC celebrates the artistry and dedication behind every drop.

A Journey Across Cities

One of the unique aspects of AAIOOC is our ability to move the competition to different cities, allowing us to highlight new cultures and traditions each year. Our first three editions were held in Doha, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi, bringing together producers, industry leaders, and olive oil enthusiasts from across the globe.

This rotating format allows us to celebrate the diversity of olive oil production in different regions while making the event accessible to a wider range of participants.
