The guide to the world of extra virgin olive oil — aptly nicknamed by many the Bible of olive oil — is born each year from meticulous work: mapping the olive-growing traditions of five continents, more than 57 countries and 35 olive-growing regions, to deliver to the market a ranking of the world's best 500 companies.
Three editions in dual language (Italian-English, Italian-Chinese and Italian-Spanish), detailed cartography, constantly updated statistical data. An editorial project that is also a concrete communication tool for the producers selected.
Open to all. Selective by choice.
The heart of the project is the contest: every year, quality olive oil producers send their EVO samples to be evaluated by a panel of around 50 expert tasters, selected on a rotating basis and coordinated by Marco Oreggia.
The philosophy is clear: break down the boundaries of quality, recognising that excellence is achievable everywhere. But the ranking stops at 500. Maximum openness, therefore — and maximum rigour. Being listed in Flos Olei is not an occasional medal: it is a reference that companies can use over time to support their reputation on international markets.
The internal rankings — Hall of Fame and The Best — complete the picture, offering buyers, importers and media a reliable guide through the global extra virgin olive oil landscape.

In December, Rome.
The guide will be presented during the Flos Olei Tour in Rome, on 11 and 12 December 2026: two days in which the Italian capital becomes the convergence point for producers, industry professionals and enthusiasts from around the world. An event that grows with each edition, now a fixture in the sector's international calendar.
Further details about the event will be announced in the coming months.
