Jury President

Owner of Château Virant, Olive oils

“For more than 15 years now, the Olive d’or competition has been judging oils from around the world and giving them a legibility on the North American market. Each year, I observe a great enthusiasm from professionals for this product which, as old as the world, has never been so popular, especially for its organoleptic qualities and the health benefits it provides. By participating in the Olive d’Or competition, the oils are exhibited for 3 days in a prestigious setting: the Olive d’Or space, a place of discovery and exchange for product enthusiasts.
