IL Fiorello Olive Oil Company is proud to announce it has earned four medals at the Japan Olive Oil Prize (JOOP) in Tokyo—one of the world’s most respected international olive oil competitions.
The JOOP competition featured entries from producers across 24 countries and is judged by a panel of international olive oil experts through blind taste testing.
IL Fiorello’s award-winning oils:

“This recognition is a testament to our team’s year-round dedication to quality and craftsmanship,” said Ann Sievers, owner of IL Fiorello Olive Oil Company.
Japan is the top consumer of olive oil in Asia, making the JOOP awards particularly meaningful.

Earlier this year, the company was named one of the Top 10 Olive Oil Producers in the U.S. and ranked among the Top 25 in the World.
