The Canada International Olive Oil Competition (CIOOC) is the largest olive oil competition in Canada, dedicated to recognizing excellence in olive oil production. Established to promote high-quality extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) globally, CIOOC serves as a benchmark for producers seeking validation and market differentiation. The organization emphasizes brand credibility, consumer awareness, and industry networking through its awards and events.

CIOOC conducts blind tastings by an international panel of expert tasters, following standards set by the International Olive Council. It offers a quality awards program that recognizes superior EVOOs based on sensory and chemical analysis, as well as packaging awards for innovative designs. The competition also provides marketing support for winners, enhancing their brand visibility and media coverage. Networking events during the competition facilitate connections among producers, traders, and industry leaders, fostering collaboration within the olive oil sector.
