Two Libyan olive oil brands from the mountain city of Gharian have won gold at the 9th Athens International Olive Oil Competition (AIOOC) 2024. The results were announced last Monday (20 May) but the competition was held 25 to 27 April in Sparta.
The winners were from the Almoshkat and Alajnaf olive presses.
The Libyan olive oils were able to outperform participants from 24 countries and more than 600 olive oil samples from around the world after the samples were evaluated by an international jury of 30 experts and tasters in olive oil quality.
