5-9 September 2016 in Melbourne, Australia
Chile, Australia, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay and South Africa: these countries, representing three continents where extra virgin olive oil is produced in the southern hemisphere, have entered samples in the third edition of the Sol d'Oro Southern Hemisphere competition. The competition organised by Veronafiere is the most important on an international scale. The objective is to promote qualitative and commercial development of olive growing world-wide.
Melbourne - Australia, 6 September 2016. Three continents producing extra virgin olive oil south of the Equator - Oceania, South America and Africa - line up for Sol d'Oro Southern Hemisphere, scheduled until 9 September in Melbourne, Australia.
The third edition of the international competition organised by Veronafiere dedicated to countries producing olive oil in Spring - the opposite time of year compared to traditional northern hemisphere areas – has attracted even more entries from - over and above Australia itself - Chile, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay and South Africa. Australia, together with Chile, is one of the major producing countries in the southern hemisphere and is also represented for the first time by Tasmania, demonstrating even broader development of olive growing around the world.
«We expect to see good quality among the samples entered» explains Marino Giorgetti, Panel Leader of the jury comprising eight other international experts, «This is despite the rather variable production trend this year in the southern hemisphere caused by climatic conditions affecting the various olive growing stages».
From a quantitative point of view, output was good in South Africa, with +15% compared to 2015, while Chile an unusual performance, with less production in the south of the country, where olives are mainly grown, while good weather conditions in the north ensured a plentiful harvest; the situation in Australia was similar, with "patchy" out that prevented higher production levels.
The olive oils winning awards will be announced on 8 September, followed by a guided tasting dedicated to sector journalists and professionals in the ho.re.ca channel. Three seminars are also scheduled on the same day looking into business opportunities for Australian olive oils on international markets.
Sol d'Oro Southern Hemisphere is held with the sponsorship of the Government of the State of Victoria, in the conviction that bring the Competition to Melbourne was an ideal opportunity for promoting extra virgin olive oils produced south of the Equator as well as development of quality and trade, with the patronage of the Italian Consulate and the collaboration of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Melbourne.
