Pyramids IOOC & IOC 2026
We are thrilled to announce the return of the only international competition in Egypt dedicated to celebrating the highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Table Olives.
The Second International Competition for the Finest Quality Olive Oil and Table Olives builds on the success of our inaugural event. It continues to honor the deep-rooted heritage of ancient Egypt, where the olive tree has been a symbol of blessing and a cornerstone of our agricultural history for millennia.
Inspired by the enduring legacy of the pyramids, this competition aims to elevate and immortalize the most distinguished olive oil and olive brands on a global stage. We continue to provide a prestigious platform for producers from around the world to showcase their exceptional quality and innovative spirit.
The competition is once again divided into two main categories:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Quality Competition
Table Olive Quality Competition
These categories invite participants from across the globe to compete for recognition, bringing together quality and creativity in a fair and prestigious event that celebrates the very best in olive oil and table olives worldwide.
