Each year, more than one hundred Extra Virgin Olive Oils are showcased to the 20,000 visitors of SIAL Canada.
Following a growing and evolving demand, 2 new features have been added to the Olive d’Or competition which selects the Golden Drop, Silver and Bronze winners according to the categories ripe fruitiness, light fruit flavor, medium fruit flavor, strong fruit flavor and aromatic.
The competition is open to extra virgin olive oils from all over the world, whether they are exhibitors or not at SIAL Canada.

“The Olive d’or competition has just concluded its 17th edition in Toronto this year. This competition is really unique in
the world of competitions because it takes place in a country that does not produce olive oil. This is to say that olive oil
is still a real craze for its uses in cooking and for its health benefits. The Canadian market is still a buoyant market in
terms of consumption and its development potential. I can say that the quality of the oils in competition was
incredible and the level of competition remarkable. So the need today to further enlighten the consumer seems
paramount. Signs of reassurance such as obtaining a medal in a competition of international rank is really a
consecration. So thank you to all these producers for their daily work and thank you to our jury of experts, who, thanks
to the quality of the tastings, were able to highlight exceptional oils”.
