The history of L'ORCIOLO D'ORO
Italy’s L’ORCIOLO D’ORO is the world’s leading and longest-running professional competition for Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
It originated in the second half of the 1980s, based on an idea by Marta Cartoceti. She brought together a small group of enthusiasts, producers, restaurateurs and oenologists who served as a self-styled “amateur” jury.
