The eighth edition of the JOOP (Japan Olive Oil Prize) contest, organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ICCJ), is slated to take place in Tokyo between April 7 and 10, 2020.
The objective of the contest is to promote extra-virgin olive oils of all origin in Japan. It represents a unique opportunity for producers to increase their brand awareness in international markets.
The winning oils have the possibility to participate at trade shows in Japan and events at major department stores in Tokyo and Osaka and to be featured in specialised media.
Any extra-virgin olive oil produced in 2019 is eligible, as long as a production batch of at least 500kg is guaranteed, and the application form and the product samples are correctly submitted within the deadline, which is March 31, 2020.
A renewed point-based decimal system between 8.00 (minimum) and 10.00 (maximum) will ensure a fairer award attribution based on the overall quality of the oils.
The prizes will be awarded as follows:
Between 8.00 and 8.99: Silver prize
Between 9.00 and 9.49: Gold prize
Between 9.50 and 10.00: Best-in-class
Oils will be competing in the following categories: Organic, Blend, Monocultivar, P D O and P G I Certificates of Excellence for oils with distinctive qualities (high polyphenols content), other special mentions and Best of Country for the oil with the highest score from each country will be also awarded.
The jury comprises an international panel of six certified sensorial analysis judges, supervised by the panel leaders Pietro Paolo Arca of Italy and Konstantinos Liris of Greece. These are Antonio Giuseppe Lauro of Italy, Pablo Voitzuk of the USA, Michiyo Yamada of Japan and Angeles Calvo Fandos of Spain.
The announcement of the winners and the award ceremony shall take place in Tokyo on April 10, 2020. The media, institutional representatives, experts and many others will be present.
The list of winners will be published on JOOP’s official Web page and Facebook at 2pm (Japan time) on April 13, 2020.
