Muscat: "OLIO", an Omani project for the production and marketing of Al Jabal Al Akhdar olive oil recently won three gold medals in international competitions, posing high among the most prominent extra virgin olive oil. The accomplishment affirms the outstanding quality of this Omani product and its ability to compete in global markets.

According to Oman News Agency, "OLIO" achieved this feat by winning a gold medal in the Abu Dhabi International Olive Oil Competition, the European International Olive Oil Competition (EIOOC) in Geneva, and the Scandinavian International Olive Oil Competition (SIOOC).

Global platforms assess olive oils based on precise standards that include chemical and sensory properties, under the supervision of a specialized international jury. After pressing, oil is stored in food-grade stainless steel tanks away from light, heat, and oxygen, while nitrogen gas is pumped into the containers before filling, to help minimize oxidation. The product is then packed in opaque containers to ensure that its quality remains intact until it reaches the consumer.

The "OLIO" brand name is inspired by the compound Oleocanthal, known for its natural properties and health benefits. It has been officially registered with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion.
