Italy has been named the world’s leading olive oil-producing country at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, earning 166 awards, more than any other country represented in the competition.

Producers from 29 countries submitted a total of 1,021 olive oils for blind judging. Judges awarded 464 Gold Awards and 234 Silver Awards across the competition.

Italy’s strong showing comes despite a challenging season for olive growers. Extreme weather conditions and rising production costs have placed additional pressure on producers throughout the country.

From the rolling hills of Tuscany and Umbria to the olive-growing regions of Puglia and Sicily, Italian producers continue to showcase the country’s long-standing tradition of olive oil craftsmanship.

The results highlight the diversity and consistency of Italian extra virgin olive oil, with producers from across the country earning recognition on the international stage.

For many Italian households and food lovers around the world, extra virgin olive oil remains a kitchen staple — used for everything from dipping and dressing to cooking and finishing traditional dishes.
