For 21 years, AVPA has been conducting the " World Edible Oils" that has become a reference in the profession. More than 400 oils representing about twenty countries participate each year.

The competition is intended for producers of vegetable oils (growers or mills) or their groups (cooperatives, Denominations of Origin) who register with the AVPA association.

 El concurso está organizado en dos sesiones para corresponder a los periodos de cosecha :

- Northern Hemisphere samples to be received before February 15th 2023

- Southern Hemisphere samples to be received before August 15th 2023

The " World Edible Oils" contest is organized in two distinct parts:

·        olive oils of which AVPA offers a richer classification than the usual classifications in order to allow the expression of all the traditional tastes encountered around the Mediterranean and in the world.

·        other oils, flavoured or nature, seeds and nuts oils grouping together all virgin oils that can be made with any plant likely to be cold pressed to obtain edible oil, whether or not it is classified as oilseeds.
