The Report is drawn up by the ICQRF on data recorded in the olive oil computerized registers (RTO), which at 30 June 2021 are almost 23,000. Olive oils: 294,357 tons in stocks. Compared to 31 May 2021 an 8.1% decrease was recorded (320,432 tons). Stocks are 7.5% lower than the stocks recorded the same period of last year

At the MIOOA competition the oils were evaluated by six different juries. Here is the list of the extra virgin oils that were the top picks (and therefore the most voted) by juries represented by Onaoo tasters, Ais sommeliers, chefs and restaurateurs for the Horeca channel, retail-chain buyers, journalists and consumers

The EAC, the Association of Cretan Exporters, is taking the field and strongly disapproving. The algorithm, which assesses only part of each nutritional profile, does not actually consider the overall quality of each food or ingredient. A striking example of this misleading mechanism? Extra virgin olive oil, a natural food with a scientifically proven high health value, falls into category 'C', while processed foods and soft drinks paradoxically appear healthier, falling into a higher category ('B' or even 'A')

The Report is drawn up by the ICQRF on data recorded in the olive oil computerized registers (RTO), which at 31 May 2021 are 22,956. Olive oils: 320,432 tons in stocks. Compared to 30 April 2021 a 7.5% decrease was recorded (346,462 tons). Stocks are 5.3% lower than the stocks recorded the same period of last year

The Institute of Sciences of Food Production of the National Research Council of Italy and Cnr Edizioni released the book European Jellyfish Cookbook - New perspectives on marine food resources: researchers and international chefs will both lead public towards a new perception of these fascinating creatures as a possible new food resource

Oscillatory and rotational motions of different parts are combined in a newly conceived artificial  molecule, paving the way for the construction of devices capable of transforming and transmitting  movements on the nanometer scale. The nanodevice was designed, synthesized and tested by a team of  researchers of the University of Bologna led by Massimo Baroncini and Alberto Credi. This is a result of  the Center for Light Activated Nanostructures (Clan), a joint laboratory between the University and Cnr Isof in Bologna. The study is published by the prestigious journal Chem

The 9th IOBC-WPRS Meeting on Integrated Protection of Olive Crops will be held in Lisbon, from 26thto 29thOctober 2021, at Instituto Superior de Agronomia from Lisbon University. International researchers choose Portugal – the 4th European olive oil producer and the 8th in the world - to present worldwide the latest scientific advances on integrated protection ofolive cropsagainst pests, diseases and weeds

Most of the samples received so far have been sent to Imperia. Other oils that are arriving in these hours will also be sent. The panel group of ONAOO professional tasters will make the selection of the extra virgins. The selected oils will afterward be evaluated by a series of hand-picked juries. April 20th is the final date, but it is not the final date for the producers of the southern hemisphere, who have time until July 15th, 2021
