On June 28th, 2025, the time had come: we proudly travelled to the vibrant heart of London for the festive awards ceremony of the London International Olive Oil Competition (LIOOC) – and we returned with nothing less than gold! 🌟
Our organic Yakelos olive oil has been awarded the gold medal in the ‘Quality’ category. An international recognition that feels like the crowning achievement of years of dedication, craftsmanship, and love for the land.

🏙️ An Evening of Pride in the Heart of London
The awards ceremony took place at the prestigious Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars, right by the Thames. Surrounded by the crème de la crème of the international olive oil industry, we were called onto the stage to receive our gold award. A magical moment we will never forget.

🌿 Gold for Pure Tradition and Craftsmanship
Our olive oil is not a mass-produced product. It is the result of centuries-old traditions, careful cultivation, and sustainable organic farming in southern Tunisia. Every drop of Yakelos comes from hand-picked olives, cold-pressed within hours – pure, powerful, and full of character.
The fact that this dedication is now recognised on a global level fills us with deep gratitude.

💛 For Our Farmers, Our Customers, Our Mission
We dedicate this award to our farmers, who work the land with endless care. To our customers, who don’t just buy Yakelos but share our story. And to everyone who believes in transparency, purity, and fair trade.
Thanks to you, our mission continues: to build a bridge between the rich soil of Tunisia and the kitchens of Europe.
