Premier Tasting: Zurich Olive Oil Award Winners 2024

Would you like to taste the best olive oils on the Swiss market?

Under the motto “independence, neutrality & professionalism” the ZHAW has held the Olive Oil Award Zurich, well-known over the last 20 years as a long-term ZHAW research project, that especially monitors the sensory quality of olive oils on the Swiss market.

In this context, the Swiss Olive Oil Panel – active since 2002 and accredited according to ISO 17025 as well as recognized by the International Olive Oil Council (COI) – evaluated all participating olive oils in a multi-stage test procedure, by means of objective sensory analysis – meaning:

• the official panel tests,
• a detailed flavor profiling,
• and the final evaluation of the quality-index “harmony”.

Together this formed a profound basis for the identification of olive oils with outstanding sensory quality available on the Swiss market, and we invite you to taste some of them.
