Lesbos, Greece — Jordan Olivenoel has been awarded two Silver Awards at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, recognized for the Jordan Olivenoel and Jordan Olivenoel Bio brands.
Both award-winning entries were medium-intensity blends, a result that underscores the consistent quality of Jordan Olivenoel’s approach to cultivation and milling on Lesbos. Distinguished by herbaceous aromas and ripe notes, the oils carry a savory freshness, with impressions of green tomato and radish lifted by a clean, lingering spice.
Founded in 1989 and led by Bastian Jordan, Jordan Olivenoel has built its identity around combining tradition and innovation, with a sustainable, no-irrigation approach and an emphasis on organic farming. Jordan Olivenoel controls harvest, processing and bottling in one, and processes olives quickly using a two-phase system.

Across the producer’s full competition history, Jordan Olivenoel has earned 10 total awards — four Gold and six Silver — including three Silvers in 2022, three Golds in 2021, a Silver in 2017 and a Gold in 2014.
