Australian Olive Oil Association
Our mission is the promotion of consumer education, international quality standards and fair competition in the Australian olive oil industry.
We represent a membership that is open to all industry stakeholders, including producers, importers, distributors and trade organisations.
Certified Quality Seal Program
The Australian Olive Oil Association offers a Certified Quality Seal Program as a way to recognize and promote olive oils that measure up to the industry’s standards of excellence.
Heart-healthy benefits and superior flavours have made olive oil a staple in many Australian kitchens. But as with any premium product, there is a potential for imposters to mingle with the real thing. Now there is an easy way for consumers to identify olive oil that delivers the quality they expect.
Frequent Testing
The AOOA Certified Quality Seal Program has stepped up quality control another notch by submitting the Seal products for testing more frequently.
International Standards
Follows IOC standards in its tests including sensory analyses and an array of chemical tests.
Consumer Confidence
The AOOA Seal will give consumers an added level of confidence that they are getting 100% authentic product

Olive oil quality and product standards are at the core of the AOOA’s purpose.
We help members and industry stakeholders navigate international standards as well as local legislation and regulatory topics.

International Olive Council
The International Olive Council (IOC) was established in 1959 under the auspices of the United Nations and is the intergovernmental organisation responsible for the development of global standards for olive oil quality.
