About the competition

It leads to concrete results.
A perfectly New Concept Competition!

The international JOOTA AWARDS celebrate the finest extra-virgin olive oils – hosted by the Japan Olive Oil Taster Association (JOOTA) in the beloved city of Tokyo.

With Japan as the fourth-largest importer of olive oil in the World, this competition provides a unique and valuable opportunity for producers to increase their brand’s presence in such a rapidly-growing market.

A big feature of JOOTA AWARDS is that your product has great potential to specifically expand its position in the Japanese market.

That’s because this competition is being held in collaboration with the retail / distribution and the restaurant industries.

In fact, past winners have actually achieved concrete results in the Japanese market, such as acquiring new business partners through this competition!

A team built on excellence

As the top quality-evaluator in Japan, JOOTA is synonymous with fairness and excellence – and these high standards of JOOTA AWARDS are maintained by our internationally-recognised panel of jurors, made up of industry professionals. This cultured jury selects participating oils in accordance with IOC regulations.
Our special prizes, Chefs’ AWARDS and Department Store Buyer’s / Luxury Supermarket Buyers’ AWARDS, are awarded to industry stand-outs by fellow professionals, who use their genuine love for olive oil to help drive forward its success in this field.

As a group, we believe in the importance of nurturing the culture of olive oil and supporting the work of everyone who loves it like we do.

Because of this enthusiasm for olive oil that we all share, the judgement of our panels is the most fair and professional on the market. When our winners are selected, we choose only the top products to promote the great image of olive oil and boost your product in Japan.
