Japan Olive Oil Prize - JOOP

Today we are traveling in the Trás-os-Montes region of Portugal! 🇵🇹 This area, with a longstanding olive oil tradition, has nestled the Agricultural Cooperative of Olive Growers of Murça (CAOM) since 1956. The cooperative plays a vital role in maintaining and innovating local olive oil production, ensuring that traditional methods blend seamlessly with advanced technologies to produce high-quality olive oil. In CAOM’s museum, it’s possible to harness the evolution of olive oil extraction, showing the cultural components of the tradition. Their Porca de Murça EVOOs reflect the robust character of the Trás-os-Montes terroir, crafted from carefully selected olives and renowned for their rich taste and quality, both in pure blends and flavored ones, such as the Cacau Fused EVOO.

Today, November 26th, is the official World Olive Tree Day! Let’s all take a moment to celebrate our most beloved plant, which we tenderly care for in every stage of its life, from the small sapling to the huge, sometimes even centennial green giant. And as we nurture it, it accompanies us through generations, giving back its most delicious fruits and healthiest oil, inspiring more and more farmers to continue family traditions and share a unified vision of protecting the environment and the nature of our earth. The olive branch has been symbolizing peace, wisdom, and harmony since ancient times, and as such is important not just to the countries where these noble trees grow, but to people and communities around the world. Let’s look back at the olive trees of this year’s JOOP Winners, and appreciate the work they’ve done to care for them. Happy World Olive Tree Day to every EVOO lover around the world!

Agrestis was founded in Buccheri, a picturesque Sicilian village nestled on the slopes of the Iblei Mountains! Here, olive oil production is a tradition passed down through generations. In 2003, lifelong friends Giuseppe Paparone and Lorenzo Nicotra, along with their children, started the cooperative to protect the many centuries-old olive trees growing in nearby abandoned fields. From the beginning, their philosophy was to revitalize the environment and the Buccheri countryside, transforming traditional olive oil production into a high-quality craft. At the same time, they aimed to create job opportunities and showcase the excellence of ‘Made in Sicily’ to the world. Their extra virgin olive oil, Florè BIO & DOP, is made from 100% Tonda Iblea olives grown in Buccheri, harvested with care and at the optimal time to preserve all the qualities of this native variety and its intensely fruity flavor. It offers notes of green tomato, white apple, freshly cut grass, and wild herbs, delivering a distinctly bitter and spicy flavor balanced by hints of fresh fava beans, artichoke, and tomato.
