Laconiko Shines Again: Setting More Records at 2025 NYIOOC
Diamantis Pierrakos â
The New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) is widely regarded as the most prestigious and influential olive oil competition in the world. Every spring, hundreds of producers from over 30 countries submit their finest extra virgin olive oils to be evaluated by a panel of international experts. In 2025, the competition saw a record-breaking 1,300 entriesâeach subjected to rigorous blind tasting for quality, flavor, and excellence.
To stand out among the worldâs best is no small feat. To do it consistently for over a decade is history in the making.
This year, Laconiko once again made Greece proud, securing two Gold Awards and two Silver Awards at the 2025 NYIOOC. With these honors, Laconiko not only reaffirmed its status as a world-class olive oil producer but also achieved a historic milestone:
Laconiko is now the most awarded Greek olive oil producer in the history of the NYIOOC.
And thatâs not all.
With this 2025 victory, Laconiko has earned awards at the NYIOOC for 12 consecutive years, making it the most consistently awarded Greek olive oil producer in the competitionâs history.
A Legacy of Quality
Behind every bottle of Laconiko olive oil is a family legacy rooted in the sun-drenched groves of Laconia, Peloponnese. Known for their meticulous harvesting methods, early picking, meticulous cold storage, and focus on high-phenolic content, Laconikoâs oils are celebrated for their balance, complexity, and health benefits. From our most awarded olive oil "Estate", the vibrant high polyphenol âZoiâ to their sought-after âOlio Nuovo,â each expression is a testament to passion, precision, and purity.
What These Wins Mean
The NYIOOC awards are more than medalsâthey're a global validation of quality. For consumers, they offer trusted guidance in an often-overwhelming marketplace. For producers, they represent the pinnacle of industry recognition. And for Laconiko, these 2025 wins are a bold statement:Â excellence isnât just a goalâitâs a tradition.
