Every year, competitions for Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) are held all over the world. The competitions are divided into categories, namely olive type and country of origin. A competition winner is announced per category.
In order to determine which olive oil is the best in the world, a points system has been devised. The competitions are ranked by importance. Each competition has a score, with Mario Solinas being number 1.
The score of the competition is multiplied by the score of the award at the relevant competition. All points won in a year added together ultimately determine the annual winner. A side note to the best olive oil in the world is that there is a price tag attached to each competition. Not all producers choose to participate in all competitions.
