Victorian Olive Groves Awards

Victorian Olive Groves (VOG) commenced exhibiting its oils in 2000, winning, among other medals, the Best Oil of the Show at Olives South Australia.  Since that time numerous other organizations have started their own shows / competitions such that there are now more than 30 annually, Australia wide. VOG decided that in 2003, we would restrict the number of competitions we entered, electing to exhibit in the National competition, the original South Australian competition, Canberra and the Sydney Royal Shows. We also entered the most prestigious International Show in Bari, Italy, for the first time - winning a Grand Mention Diploma for the 2002 Frantoio.  In 2006 we restricted our exhibiting to the National AOA show and the Golden Olive awards (Victoria) for oil and the National Table Olive Association's show for table olives.

VOG has demonstrated it's commitment to producing some of the very best oils in Australia which is affirmed by the consistency of it's medal tally year in, year out.
