How do you apply a DOP pouring closure to an Olive Oil Bottle?

INFORMATION SHEET

What is a DOP Closure? 

What is a DOP Closure and how do you apply it to an Olive Oil glass bottle?  Once the olive oil has been filled into the bottle you can see the video on how to apply.

How to apply a DOP closure to an olive oil bottle

This video shows how a DOP closure can be applied to the olive oil bottle.  The non-refillable DOP snap closure once fitted is not removable.  The DOP is considered safe, hygienic and very easy to apply even without the need for machinery.  One pressure application can have the DOP applied to the bottle and is ready to remove the tamper-evident seal  and pour the olive oil directly from the bottle.


The non-refillable system is a new type that can be seen across Europe without the need for applying the thread to the bottle.

From Grove to Gold: Your 2025 Roadmap to the Best Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Competitions

OLIVE OIL COMPETITONS

From Grove to Gold:  Your 2025 Roadmap to the Best Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Competitions

Producing a truly memorable extra-virgin olive oil is only half the story; the other half is placing it in front of the right judges, at the right time, to earn the medals and credibility that open doors to retailers, chefs, export and domestic buyers. Yet with more than two dozen serious competitions now dotting the calendar... from local shows and boutique regional awards to global flagship competitions like NYIOOC and the IOC’s Mario Solinas.... choosing where (and when) to enter can feel complex and confusing. 

To cut through the clutter, The Olive Centre has compiled a comprehensive guide that distils the 2025 competition landscape into a practical roadmap. You’ll discover which Australian and New Zealand shows who can provide some of the best technical feedback.  Which Southern-Hemisphere internationals dovetail with our harvest window, and which global contests deliver the biggest marketing bang for your entry fee. Whether you’re a boutique producer chasing your first medal, benchmark or an established grove looking to bolster export credentials, the list below will help you turn fresh, green fruit into gold-stamped  accolades.

Australian & New Zealand Competitions

May of these competitions will take Interstate entries in different classes

Key Take-Aways

  • Medals are only the start. The real prize is the taste descriptor, lab data, sensory notes and publicity that build trust with retailers, chefs and overseas buyers.
  • Create Benchmarks Enter one Australian or NZ show within close timeframe of harvest (AIOA, Sydney Royal, Perth Royal, etc.) to fine-tune quality while the oil is fresh.
  • Leverage Southern-Hemisphere timing. Aim for Sol d’Oro SH, Mario Solinas SH, Armonia SH or the new Olio Nuovo Days SH to compete when northern oils aren’t yet on the circuit.
  • Choose one global flagship for brand lift. NYIOOC, LA, Athena, London, EVO IOOC, TerraOlivo or EVOOLEUM each deliver international press and market seals... pick the one that aligns with your target buyers (and budget).
  • Do the maths. Domestic entries cost ~A $39–250; premiere internationals run US $400–600 plus freight - plan for at least two shows in your annual marketing budget.
  • Ship it right. Filter, lab-test, bottle within six weeks of dispatch, use insulated packs and keep spare bottles ready for re-runs.

Bottom Line

Pair one domestic show (for technical validation) with one Southern-Hemisphere and, if export-minded, one big global contest. With a tight competition calendar and disciplined prep, you’ll turn fresh extra virgin olive oil into gold-stamped traction for the 2025 season, and beyond to stepping into building your brand.

Happy competing, and may your freshest olive oil translate into a glittering haul of gold in 2025!
