DESIGN competition

Olio Nuovo Days 2026 — Design Competition Results

Under the presidency of Octave de Gaulle, French designer and founder of Spade Agency, the Olio Nuovo Days Design Competition celebrates excellence in packaging, branding, and visual identity within the olive oil.

On this occasion, he brought together an exceptional jury, composed of leading figures from design, creative industries, and the sensory world.

His work explores the intersection of object, material, and narrative, bringing together industrial design, craftsmanship, and artistic direction. This year’s selection reveals a remarkable diversity of creative expressions, where heritage, innovation, and sensory storytelling converge with precision and intent.

BEST OF SHOW

  • DOMAINE DE GERBAUD —  AOP Provence BIO & Petit Oli —  France

JURY COMMENTS:  “DOMAINE DE GERBAUD stands out for the originality and unique charm of its concept. By breaking away from the traditional conventions of Premium Olive Oils, the project has developed its own distinct, instantly recognisable style.

The jury was particularly impressed by the evocative power of the illustrations and the shape of the label, which introduce a sense of innocence and generosity rarely seen in this category.

The overall design succeeds in establishing a strong personality without ever compromising perceived quality. A free-spirited yet masterful concept. Special mention for the Petit Oli proposal, which invites young people to taste and share the pleasure of EVOO…”

JURY GRAND PRIX 

CHRISEO 2026

  • CHRISEO — Delicate & Intense —   France

JURY COMMENTS:  “CHRISEO stands out for the coherence and mastery of its expression, rooted in a distinctly high-end visual universe. The project unfolds a rich imagery, driven by evocative photography that calls upon the Mediterranean, dolce vita, simple gastronomy, and a timeless Greek way of life. These visuals, seamlessly articulated with the other branding elements, create a fluid and highly desirable narrative.

The bottle shape, both understated and refined, reinforces this sense of timelessness, while the overall approach conveys a controlled modernity, drawing with precision from the codes of fashion.

A fully accomplished proposition, combining evocation, desirability, and exacting standards”.

BEST PACKAGING

THE MASTER MILLER Athenas Doron & Carisma Dios

JURY COMMENTS:  “THE MASTER MILLER Historic stands out with an original, confident, playful, and highly graphic packaging proposal. The project moves beyond the status of a simple culinary product, placing olive oil within a broader narrative — that of the terroirs from which it originates and which it has traversed for millennia.

In contrast to the luxury codes often associated with exceptional olive oils, this packaging unfolds a rich and accessible story, recalling the central role of olive oil in the history and culinary traditions of the Mediterranean, reaching back to the founding myths of ancient Greece. This narrative ambition is supported by a perfectly controlled execution, which enhances the overall perceived quality.

The packaging thus becomes a true object in its own right, as enjoyable to offer as it is to receive. A distinctive and generous proposition, with strong commercial potential”.

BEST BOTTLE

MIRA LUNA gamme 2026

JURY COMMENTS:  “Domaine Mira Luna particularly impressed the jury with the coherence of its design. The bottle, instantly recognisable by its silhouette, blends harmoniously with the shapes of the label and the seal.

The overall effect is enhanced by finely crafted branding, supported by a precise and evocative colour palette, which helps to create a unique world. The graphic elements, inspired by the night, reinforce a sensitive imagery rooted in nature, contributing to a strong perceived quality.

This overall coherence, both formal and narrative, led the jury to recognise this entry in the Best Bottle category”.

BEST BRANDING

PANERY 2026

JURY COMMENTS:  “Domaine de Panéry impressed the jury with the quality and mastery of its branding elements, which successfully articulate a refined balance between heritage and contemporary codes. The logo, the reinterpretation of the fleur-de-lys coat of arms, and the overall graphic language together create a precise and modern identity, reflecting both the quality of the product and the richness of the estate’s heritage.

This level of rigor is consistently expressed across a wide range of formats, from the metal tin to the tall, elegant glass bottle. Despite this diversity, the brand’s coherence remains intact, supported by a particularly well-judged and appealing color palette.

The result is a remarkably balanced product, equally at home on the most traditional tables as in the most contemporary dining environments”.

The competition brought together producers from 15 countries, highlighting the excellence of early-harvest olive oils from diverse origins.

The samples were evaluated by an international jury chaired by Christophe Lavelle, PhD (CNRS, Sorbonne University, National Museum of Natural History), according to demanding criteria of sensory quality, freshness, harmony and typicity.

Where olive oil excellence greets date-pride

Honored Moments at Al Dhafra Date Festival & Auction

The vast desert of Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region once again became the stage for cultural heritage, tradition and innovation. Among this year’s highlights, the festival — held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan — welcomed distinguished guests and featured moments that underscored the wider significance of olive-oil culture alongside the date-palm traditions.

At the heart of the event stood a symbolic gesture: the presentation of an Argentine extra-virgin olive oil, one of the laureates of Olio Nuovo Days, acting as a link between hemispheres, civilisations and flavours. The festival, organised by the Abu Dhabi Heritage Authority, provided the backdrop for discussions around quality, authenticity and traceability in olive-oil production.

Educational engagement also featured prominently. A bilingual (English & Arabic) cultural timeline — tracing olive-oil production from its origin and the beginning of its cultivation in the Levant — was introduced, aligning ancient agrarian roots with modern labelling requirements such as variety, region, harvest date and method of extraction. The timeline emphasises that olive oil is not merely a culinary commodity but a living heritage.

His Excellency Rashed Abdulkarim Al-Balushi,

OLIVE TREE DIPLOMACY 

During the festival Ms Dechelette met H.E. Emilio Pin Godos, Ambassador of Spain to the UAE, to discuss the journey of the olive tree. She later met H.E. Rashed Abdulkarim Al-Balushi, Executive Director of the Abu Dhabi Global Registration Authority, where the conversation centred on the core values of quality, authenticity and traceability.

CONTINUING THE JOURNEY:  FOUR SEASONS OF LEGACY AND RELIABILITY 

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Emmanuelle Dechelette has been invited to the festival, reinforcing the ongoing link between Olio Nuovo Days and the region’s commitment to institutional heritage and agricultural excellence.

Visitors and professionals alike were reminded that each drop of a quality extra-virgin olive oil carries tradition, terroir and trust — and that public education remains key to unlocking its full value.

With gratitude to Shawati Magazine, the Abu Dhabi Heritage Authority and Turathuna AE for their roles in celebrating this rich and enduring tradition.

THE OLIVE TREE’S CRADLE 

Studies reveal that the wild olive tree and its cultivated forms exhibited significant genetic differentiation within the Mediterranean basin, reflecting three major refuges: the Near East (Levant), the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Aegean region.
Although wild forms were present in multiple zones, the Levant is firmly identified as the primary cradle of domestication of the olive tree.
Between the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia, the Fertile Crescent provided ideal conditions: rich river valleys, a mild climate and a remarkable diversity of wild species — wheat, barley, lentils and wild olive trees. As early as 10,000 B.C., communities in the region began to domesticate plants and animals. Located at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and Europe, this region gave rise to the first villages, first granaries and earliest agricultural societies. And it was here that humankind first learned to cultivate the earth — giving rise to the civilisations that shaped the Mediterranean world.

Moreover, olive trees have long been valued in more arid and marginal lands because of their relative drought tolerance — they demand far less water than many other crops, and thus became a smart choice for cultivation in zones where water was limited and other plants struggled.

And the winners are….

Ladies and gentlemen,  Friends and lovers of fine olive oil,

It’s my great honour to present the winners of Olio Nuovo Days – Southern Hemisphere 2025. This competition celebrates the extra virgin olive oils from the Southern Hemisphere, judged with the utmost care, tradition and sensory expertise.

Before we reveal the results, a tribute to all the producers who took part. This year, the following countries were in contention for the Best of Show:

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Uruguay & South Africa

Each of these nations brought oils of exceptional character, vibrant aroma, balanced bitterness and pleasant pungency – true expressions of terroir and dedication.

We also wish to acknowledge the leadership provided by Chef Eugénie Béziat, presiding over the competition, and Marcelo Scofano, chair of the jury. Their combined expertise, along with our partnership with Le Festival du Monde, has elevated this edition.

Without further delay, let us discover who among these seven distinguished contenders will be awarded Best of Show for 2025.
