AWARD FOR THE TABLE OLIVE
The table olive, as a welcome to the table, as an appetizer, as an ingredient in salad, pizza and many recipes, but also in drinks and cocktails, is a constant value in the Mediterranean diet, as well as in the cuisines of many regions of the world.
The quality and taste of the table olive depends and is determined by the variety of the olive tree, its maturity at harvest and the processing it has undergone. Its particular gustatory characteristics, positive and negative, can be perceived through the smell, the taste and the sensation that the fruit leaves in the mouth, such as its crispness.
Experienced tasters evaluate each olive and place it in the respective categories – a process which will reveal the winners of the competition.
They can participate:
Olive standardization/trading businesses of any legal form, Cooperative Organizations and Producer Groups that market branded standardized table olives.
