The Governor EVOO Wins Silver at the World’s Most Prestigious Olive Oil Competition

We are proud to announce that The Governor Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been awarded a Silver Award at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition 2026. One of the most prestigious and respected olive oil competitions in the world.

Judged by an international panel of expert tasters, the NYIOOC recognises only the finest olive oils globally. To be included among the World’s Best Olive Oils is a significant achievement and a testament to the exceptional quality of The Governor.

This recognition highlights the dedication of the Dafnis family in Corfu, whose commitment to traditional harvesting methods and meticulous production ensures every bottle delivers outstanding purity, flavour, and nutritional value.

The Governor is renowned for its exceptionally high levels of polyphenols, natural compounds linked to powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. This award further reinforces its position not only as a premium extra virgin olive oil, but as a product at the forefront of both taste and health.

As a certified Olive Oil Sommelier, this achievement is especially meaningful. It validates everything we stand for: quality, authenticity, and a passion for educating people about truly exceptional olive oil.
