7. Chile
Points – 9
During the New York competition, Chilean olive oils managed to bring two “best” titles, and two silver medals, out of 15 total entries. The country exports about 12 tons of olive oil per year. Generally speaking, the bottles from this country come from olives grown between the Atacama and Maule regions. The Mediterranean climate makes it perfect for olive growing, thanks to the rainy winders and the summers that are dry and hot.
The olive oil here has been getting international recognition in the past few years and many believe that the country’s products will soon be getting even more famous as the world starts to know them better.
