Experience a range of Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Nine Producers and Six Countries
Explore the EVA Criteria and +Factors
June 23, 2024, Petaluma, Calif. — Through the products and stories of nine of its member companies, Extra Virgin Alliance offers Fancy Food Show registrants the opportunity to learn what makes extra virgin olive oil so special. Discover and taste a diverse range of extra virgin olive oils that exemplify both EVA’s rigorous oil certification requirements as well as the ways EVA members are implementing practices that protect the land, assure quality, and build communities—what we call the EVA +Factors.
Currently comprising 39 extra virgin olive oils, Extra Virgin Alliance is the Specialty Olive Oil Section of the North American Olive Oil Association. These EVA certified oils come from producers who are representative of those around the world who are dedicated to crafting extraordinary and delicious oils while protecting the environment and improving their communities.
“The Fancy Food Show is an ideal venue for showcasing these exceptional extra virgin olive oils. This year we have products from Italy, Greece, Portugal, Turkey, Morocco and Spain,” says EVA Director Alexandra Devarenne. “We invite attendees to visit the Extra Virgin Alliance pavilion to taste the oils and explore their histories.”
To become EVA certified, oils must meet quality and purity requirements as well as production and packaging specifications. In addition, producers must also demonstrate a noteworthy measure of the EVA +Factors, designations that cover a wide range of practices in three categories: The Oil, The Land, and The People. This includes farming, environmental stewardship, production, transparency, social responsibility, and community engagement.

Extra Virgin Alliance, the Specialty Olive Oil Section of the North American Olive Oil Association, builds appreciation of extra virgin olive oil by telling the many stories of the extraordinary olive oils made by producers who champion flavor, are custodians of the land, and who are steeped in tradition while innovating for the future. Founded in 2012 to create an organization to illuminate and celebrate quality extra virgin olive oils from around the world, EVA merged with NAOOA in 2022. EVA has certified 39 oils from 7 countries and 16 producers. The EVA seal signals to shoppers that the oil has met or exceeded our stringent requirements. Visit the EVA Product Directory for details.
