FILAIOS, the Scientific Society of Olive Oil Friends, and the Steering Committee of the KOTINOS 2017 International Competition for Packed Branded Extra Virgin Olive Oils are pleased to announce the results of this year’s Competition, which took place in Athens on March 3 & 4.
Despite the serious quantitative and mainly qualitative problems of the current crop year, the quality level of the oils which entered the Competition clearly proved that there are Greek extra virgin olive oils with exceptional organoleptic characteristics even during difficult times.
We take this opportunity to kindly thank all the participants in the Competition, to warmly congratulate the winners, and to renew our rendezvous for next year’s KOTINOS 2018 Competition.
The awards ceremony for the winners of the Competition will take place during an event to be organized by FILAIOS on Sunday, March 19, 2017, from 16:00 to 18:00, at the Metropolitan Expo Center of Athens (Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport), in the context of the Food Expo Greece 2017 Exhibition.
