Here is the roundup of FINALIST by category that immediately earn the GREAT MENTION, those are the world best olive oil you can find in 2026!

You will also find the organoleptic evaluation made by Leone d’Oro Professional Panel (Panel Aipol2 )

I remind you that the oil evolves, the same product in December will have slightly different characteristics than in August, but when you reach such levels of excellence the only certainty is that the oil will be for long time a pleasure for the nose and mouth.

I renew the invitation to contact the producers directly and buy these “champagne”, hoping they still have some bottles.

We support producers and who save the biodoversity
