DUBAI OLIVE OIL COMPETITION
Enter the World’s Benchmark Olive Oil Competition
25 To 28 June 2026
DubaiOOC connects Best producers to consumers through our own retail network and franchises.
🥇 Why DUBAIOOC Is the #1 Olive Oil Competition in the World
Since 2016 we’ve pursued a single mission:
identify, reference, and promote the world’s best extra virgin olive oils,and make them accessible without intermediaries via our Best Olive Oils Store network (flagships, franchises, and e‑commerce).
We are the only competition that, for every single winner:
Produces a professional, brand‑specific video you can publish across your channels (improved every year; many reach millions of views).
Opens a direct route to market: placement opportunities in our physical stores, franchise network, and online store.
Removes UAE market barriers: a free Dubai company for winners to legally import, invoice, and operate locally.
Solves logistics: one pallet of free storage in Dubai, so your bottles are available immediately—because consumers in Dubai buy what’s in stock now.
Here are the official promotional videos we created for each winner of our 2025 Editions. In 2026, we will elevate this even further:
For the very first time, and with the exclusive aim of amplifying your brand’s visibility, each winner will receive not just one, but three bespoke promotional videos
a unique privilege designed to maximize consumer awareness and desirability.

🎬 The Unmatched Power of DUBAIOOC
As you can see, each video is designed with a clear commercial purpose: to highlight the winning brands, connect them directly with consumers, and inspire the desire to purchase.
We have been producing these videos for 9 consecutive editions, and every year, we push the quality even further — better filming, better editing, better storytelling.
And yet, DUBAIOOC remains the only olive oil competition in the world to create and publish a dedicated video for every single winner.
Why?
Because producing hundreds of videos in multiple languages is a huge effort —but instead of spending our time promoting the competition, we focus on promoting the Best Olive Oils In The World.
That’s the DUBAIOOC difference. Global recognition. Premium visibility. And real marketing value for every winner.

Understanding rankings can sometimes be a complex task for consumers.
To simplify this, Dubai Olive Oil Competition has decided to categorize olive oils into two main awards: Gold Medal and Silver Medal.
Olive oils that achieve a score between 80/100 and 100/100 are awarded a Gold Medal.
Olive oils scoring between 70/100 and 79/100 are granted a Silver Medal.

It is crucial that the samples sent for the competition are ready for commercialization, meaning they should come with their final label or packaging as it would be presented for sale. We produce videos for each winner, so it's important that the bottles sent are the same as those that customers can purchase.
