What Are the EVOOLEUM Awards and Why Do They Matter?
The EVOOLEUM Guide has established itself as the global benchmark in the world of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Organized by Grupo Mercacei and AEMO (the Spanish Association of Olive-Producing Municipalities), its prestige is built on a rigorous blind tasting conducted by internationally renowned experts. Each year, it publishes a ranking of the world’s Top 100 EVOOs, evaluating aroma, flavor, complexity, and balance.
The EVOOLEUM Guide is a globally recognized certification of excellence that places producers and brands on the radar of distributors, chefs, and premium consumers.
The Madrid Gala: A Moment of Celebration and Recognition
The presentation gala for the EVOOLEUM 2025 Guide was held last week in Madrid, as is tradition, bringing together producers, distributors, the press, and leading figures from the gastronomic world.
María Franco Contreras, Area Manager, and Philippe Marciniak, Account Manager from Grupo Torrent’s commercial department, attended the event. In the image, they appear alongside Juan Peñamil, president of Grupo Mercacei and director of the guide’s publication.
7 EVOOs with Grupo Torrent Closures Among the World’s Top 10
In this context of excellence, and after the jury’s results were announced, it is especially noteworthy that seven of the ten best olive oils in the world are sealed with Grupo Torrent closure solutions. This figure reinforces our position as a strategic partner for the most renowned international brands.
It also validates our commitment to quality, innovation, and design in our closure systems—essential for preserving the flavor, freshness, and authenticity of the world’s finest oils.

For the end consumer, it represents a guarantee of excellence, as olive oils are protected with cutting-edge technology and innovation backed by the highest quality standards.
