As the third largest producer of olive oil in the world, Greece has not met with the recognition it deserves on the international scene. The Athena International Olive Oil Competition hopes to change that through an annual global event that this year will take place at the European Cultural Centre of Delphi on March 26 to 28, ANA reports.
Organizers said the event, held for the third year, is “the fastest-growing international olive oil competition in the world.”
Vinetum, originally founded to organise events promoting Greek wine, holds the event at olive oil-producing regions in Greece. Last year’s event was held in Messinia, on the southern Region of Peloponnnese.
This year’s location, Delphi, celebrates the fame the city held in antiquity as seat of the famous oracle and as one of Greece’s largest olive groves today.
The deadline for registration is March 2, 2018, while the final deadline for samples to reach Vinetum is March 9.
