With the absolute success of 100%, with 13 awards in 13 participations of their organic and gourmet olive oils in Argentina, Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms exceed 1,000 international awards.
For the first (1st) time in the history of international olive growing, an olive producer from any country of the world succeeds in reaching and surpassing 1,000 international awards, creating a new world record.
This exceedance was achieved at the OLIVINUS International Olive Oil Competition, the last recognized international olive oil competition for the year 2024.
OLIVINUS IOOC 2024 took place in Mendoza, Argentina, from 9 to 15 September 2024, with the participation of hundreds of olive oils from 20 countries around the world. It is one of the most recognized olive oil tasting competitions in the world, having a very high degree of difficulty, which is evidenced by the high score of 9/10 given by the international EVOO World Ranking.
The tasting of olive oils is carried out with the method of blind tasting by the expert panel tasters of international prestige. It is the No1 international competition in America and in the countries of the Southern Hemisphere in general.
Greater difficulty arises from the fact that the olive oils of the countries of the Southern Hemisphere are fresh, produced almost a few days ago, compared to the rest of the world where almost 1 (one) year has passed from their production.
The 13 major international awards came from 13 olive oil participations of Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms in Argentina, with 100% success rate and collecting very high scores, resulting in five (5) olive oils with Grand Prestige Gold, four (4) olive oils with Prestige Gold and four (4) olive oils with Gold Awards.
In detail, the 13 gold awards at the 18th OLIVINUS International Olive Oil Competition 2024 for Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms, are:

It is one of the very few times in the 18 years that the OLIVINUS international competition takes place that a Greek olive producer and Greek organic and culinary olive oils, exclusively self-produced, are all distinguished with so many top awards.
It is also a special honor when the olive products of a Greek olive producer are recognized in the most important international competitions for their high quality, for the innovation in their production, their unique taste and their wonderful combinations, while at the same time being considered among the top internationally.
At the same time, this exceptional multitude of international prestige awards in Argentina, marks for Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms the milestone of 1,000 international awards, which in fact reach 1,012, which constitutes a unique number of awards for an olive producer worldwide, creating a new global record.
It should be emphasized that with this world record and in this way in general, Greece and Sparta, as a country and a place of production, Greek organic olive growing and finally Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms, are promoted and find their place on the global olive growing map.
