ATHIOOC is the fastest growing international olive oil competition in the world and has already gained the respect of hundreds of olive oil producers and international judges. The fourth edition will take place at Nafplion, one of the most historic cities in Greece and the first capital of the independent Greek state (1828-1833). It is the capital of the regional unit of Argolis, with one of the most historic olive groves in Greece. In addition to archaeological references, the many ancient olive trees in the area testify to its historical importance.
Judges
WHY
IN
GREECE.
Greece, the first country in the world to uplift the olive and olive oil by giving them a central role in its culture and economy
Just as long distance runners aspire to participate in the classic Marathon run or great actors dream of performing at the ancient theater of Epidaurus, dedicated olive oil producers dream of the opportunity to compete in the land where everything started.
WHY
IN
NAFPLIO?.
Nafplio (Anapli) was the first capital of the independent Greek state (1828-1833). Largely preserving its neoclassical character, it remains one of the most picturesque cities in Greece, and is officially designated a traditional settlement. It is the capital of the regional unit of Argolis, with one of the most historic olive groves in Greece. In addition to archaeological references, the many ancient olive trees in the area testify to its historical importance.
