An exceptional distinction for a Greek olive producer, with the absolute record of 100% and 15 awards in equal number of participations was noted in Turkey for Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms, in the international olive oil competition Anatolian International Olive Oil Competition 2022.
Additionally, these 15 international awards complete a new record number. The organic olive products of Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms have acquired 423 international awards, constituting a global record of awards for a Greek Single Estate olive producer. This reflects the dynamic of Greek olive growing, placing Greece and Sparta Laconia in the most prominent places on the global olive growing map, while constituting a great and special honor for Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms.
More specifically, these fifteen (15) awards come from the second edition of the Anatolian IOOC international competition held in Edremit, Balikesir, Turkey, from 26 to 29 April 2022. This international competition applies strict evaluation standards, based on tasting methods defined by the International Olive Oil Council, exclusively with the method of blind tasting and is ranked with a very high score, 8/10, in the world ranking.
