Portuguese Olive Oil Brands Triumph in New York

Farmers and millers in Portugal capped off the country’s second-largest harvest with 34 awards at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition.
European Commission data show that Portugal produced 177,000 metric tons of olive oil in the 2024/25 crop year, finishing at the low end of initial estimates. Producers across the country attributed the production increase to plentiful winter rain and otherwise favorable weather during most of 2024.

In Alentejo, Portugal’s largest olive oil-producing region by a significant margin, five farmers and millers combined to earn ten World Competition awards.
