10 Jun Mavroudis Olive Oils Shine at EVO IOOC Italy 2025
A Taste of Triumph from Corfu to Calabria
We are delighted to announce that five of our olive oils received top distinctions at the internationally acclaimed EVO IOOC Italy 2025. As one of the most prestigious and globally respected extra virgin olive oil competitions, EVO IOOC Italy represents the pinnacle of excellence in olive oil quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
For Mavroudis Olive Oil, these awards are more than just accolades. They reflect decades of dedication, the richness of our Corfiot land, and the commitment of our family to craft olive oils that embody heritage, flavor, and innovation.
Why EVO IOOC Italy Matters
Held annually in the olive-rich region of Calabria, EVO IOOC Italy is among the most important olive oil competitions in the world. Recognized by the World Ranking EVOO (WREVOO), it brings together expert tasters from multiple continents who judge oils under rigorous blind-tasting protocols.
The competition’s primary aim is to identify and celebrate the finest quality extra virgin olive oils—from both traditional and emerging producers. It offers global visibility, marketing support, and consumer trust through award seals and an official guide for buyers and chefs. Oils are judged on aroma, complexity, harmony, persistence, and typicity.
Meet the Award-Winning Mavroudis EVOOs
We proudly brought home five Gold Medals this year. Each of our entries was carefully crafted with a deep respect for tradition and an eye for modern refinement.
Mavroudis Monovarietal Lianelia EVOO – Gold Medal
Made exclusively from the rare, native Lianolia Kerkyras olive variety of Corfu, this monovarietal oil is a pure expression of our island’s character. Its vibrant green fruitiness, balanced bitterness, and aromatic intensity earned it a well-deserved Gold Medal.
With moderate pungency and notes of green almond, herbs, and wild artichoke, it is ideal for drizzling over fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and crusty bread.
Au Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Gold Medal
Our flagship blend, Au Premium, has once again proven its global quality. Already named Best EVOO of the Ionian Islands at the Athena IOOC, it continued its winning streak in Italy.
This oil is a medium-intensity blend showcasing fruity, slightly peppery notes with a balanced bitter finish. It’s a luxurious oil ideal for both finishing gourmet dishes and simple everyday uses—where purity matters most.
Mavroudis Golden Extra Virgin Olive Oil– Silver Medal
The Golden Collection is a celebration of our finest harvests. This oil is a blend of early-harvested olives selected for their superior aromatic and chemical profile. Its luxurious EVOO features edible gold flakes suspended in high-quality extra virgin olive oil, creating a unique product that combines tradition with elegance.
Gourmet Chilli EVOO – Gold Medal
A dynamic fusion of flavor and craftsmanship, our Gourmet Chilli EVOO is infused with fresh chillies pressed alongside our premium olives. The result is a warm, spicy profile that doesn’t overwhelm but instead enhances.
Perfect for adventurous home cooks, this oil adds heat and depth to everything from eggs and avocado toast to pizza, meats, and grilled vegetables.
Gourmet Basil EVOO – Gold Medal
Fragrant, green, and refreshingly herbal, our Gourmet Basil EVOO was honored for its clean infusion method and unmistakable Mediterranean character.
Basil leaves are milled directly with the olives, ensuring maximum aroma and authenticity. Ideal with mozzarella, pasta, or Caprese salad, this oil is a must-have in any food-lover’s kitchen.
More Than Awards: What This Means to Us
At Mavroudis, every award is a symbol of trust. Trust in our groves, in our people, and in our process. Being recognized by an international body like EVO IOOC is deeply meaningful—especially as the competition celebrates oils that demonstrate both cultural identity and technical perfection.
These awards also help us elevate Greek olive oil on the world stage. While our oils are rooted in Corfu, their quality transcends borders. To receive such recognition alongside the best producers from Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Chile, and beyond is both humbling and energizing.
