Athens, Greece — SIA Natures Icons has been awarded a Gold at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for the Doleon Greek Premium brand.
"Doleon Greek Premium is an exquisite, high-phenolic, health-claim EVOO, 100% natural, awarded for 11 consecutive years! We are really proud of this achievement, as outstanding, consistent quality is our first priority and is very difficult to achieve. We are a family business, and the extra virgin olive oil we provide every year is exactly the same as the one we have on our table, too.," said Giorgos Makris, CEO at SIA Natures Icons.
Doleon Greek Premium is a medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil made from Koroneiki olives. The oil is distinguished by notes of chicory and olive leaf, followed by a clean thread of spice that builds through the finish.

Presented under the Doleon Greek Premium label, the producer has focused on reaching beyond “good” olive oil toward higher standards of flavor and quality.
