We’re thrilled to share some big news: DAMYA has just taken home three Silver Awards at the 2025 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition—one for each of our entries.
-
DAMYA Robust – Silver Award 🏆
-
DAMYA Biodynamic – Silver Award 🏆
-
DAMYA Delicate – Silver Award 🏆
To win once is a cause for celebration. To win three times—across three of our finest olive oils—is a milestone. It’s a moment that reminds us why we do what we do: grow with care, harvest with purpose, and share bold, organic olive oils with the world.
What is the NYIOOC?
If you’re not deep in the olive oil world (yet), you might be wondering why this matters. The NYIOOC (New York International Olive Oil Competition) is the global standard for olive oil quality. Each year, hundreds of producers from around the world—from Italy to Australia to Tunisia—submit their best oils for blind tasting and judging by a panel of international experts.
The competition is also closely tied to Olive Oil Times, the most respected and widely read publication dedicated to olive oil. Their team doesn’t just report the results—they help shape how consumers, chefs, and importers around the world understand and appreciate quality olive oil.
To be recognized by NYIOOC is an honor. To be recognized across all our entries? That’s a dream.
A Closer Look at Our Winners!
DAMYA Robust
Big, bold, and peppery, DAMYA Robust is made for those who love olive oil with personality. This award-winning oil has consistently impressed NYIOOC judges for its depth and complexity, pairing beautifully with grilled vegetables, pastas, and crusty bread.

DAMYA Biodynamic
Our most thoughtfully grown olive oil, DAMYA Biodynamic comes from groves that follow the rhythms of the earth—literally. These olives are grown according to biodynamic and regenerative farming methods, without chemicals or shortcuts. The result? A delicate oil with notes of butter and walnut and a smooth finish.

DAMYA Delicate
A new favorite. DAMYA Delicate is gentle and buttery, with a graceful flavor that makes it perfect for raw applications—think drizzling over hummus, finishing fresh cheese, or dressing a tomato salad. This year’s silver win affirms what our customers have been telling us: delicate doesn’t mean boring.

We're also proud to see our producer, Massiva, now ranked #2 in Tunisia and #62 worldwide, according to the Olive Oil Times producer ranking dashboard. This ranking takes into account years of data, competition performance, and production quality—so the trajectory is clear: DAMYA and Massiva are rising.
Gratitude Is the Flavor of the Day
We’re incredibly thankful for this recognition—and even more grateful for our community. These awards are shared with the people who walk our groves, press our olives, and cook with our oils in home kitchens around the world. To those who’ve supported DAMYA since the early days: thank you. Your feedback, your recipes, your trust—these are what keep us going.
To new customers discovering DAMYA for the first time: welcome. If you're wondering where to start, any of our award-winners is a perfect introduction to the bold, beautiful world of Tunisian olive oil.
