Olio Nuovo Days 2023 in Paris: the Algerian oil Numidia de Bejaïa stands out
Numidia organic olive oil – Green Fruity, produced by Huileries Ouzellaguen, has just won the “Premium Gold” medal at the international competition Olio Nuovo Days 2023. This olive oil is renowned for its exceptional sensory qualities, in particular its intense and full-bodied taste, which makes it a superior quality oil.
This international competition, which takes place every year at the Ritz-Escoffier school in Paris, is considered one of the most prestigious olive oil competitions in the world. This year, the jury was made up of professional tasters from around the world, who rated the different oils according to their sensory quality, aroma and taste.
Numidia organic olive oil – Green Fruity was rewarded for its exceptional quality. It was produced from freshly pressed olives in the mountains of Djurdjura, Algeria. This olive oil is produced using traditional methods, which guarantee its superior quality.
The “Premium Gold” medal is therefore a recognition of the exceptional quality of Numidia organic olive oil – Fruity green. This oil is now available on the export market, with new packaging and three different intensities: Green Fruity (intense and full-bodied), Ripe Fruity (classic) and Matured Olives (sweet and delicate).

This international olive oil competition was hosted by the Ritz-Escoffier school, from the emblematic Ritz Paris, place Vendôme. Pastry Chef François Perret of the Ritz Paris, president of this 7th edition and surrounded by an international jury of professional tasters, has thus carried out a rigorous classification of the best oils in the northern hemisphere.
The prestigious jury of the Olio Nuovo Days thus rewarded with the "Premium Gold" medal the sensory qualities of our organic Numidia olive oil - Fruity green, freshly pressed in the mountains of Djurdjura, in Algeria. An honor for Huileries Ouzellaguen, which markets their oils under the Numidia label within the ifri group.
This recognition is all the more meaningful as it coincides with the release of Numidia oil on the European market, now organic, with new packaging and available in 3 intensities: Green fruity (intense & full-bodied) , Ripe fruity (classic) and Matured olives (sweet & delicate), distributed exclusively by Ifri European Partner.
Les Huileries Ouzellaguen: multiple international distinctions
Huileries Ouzellaguen are known for their superior quality olive oil, produced from olives grown in the Djurdjura mountains.
After having acquired nearly 400 hectares of agricultural land partly planted with olive trees, the IBRAHIM family launched an ambitious project to develop this land. They began by leveling, rocking and rooting the plots, before planting thousands of olive trees.
In 2008, Mr. Hadj IBRAHIM Laid created the oil subsidiary SARL Huileries Ouzellaguen, which quickly developed a 400-hectare olive-growing complex, comprising approximately 50,000 olive trees, of which more than 24,000 were planted between 2011 and 2012. This complex is located in the Soummam valley in Kabylia, a region renowned for the quality of its olives and olive oil.
In a short time, the SARL Huileries Ouzellaguen had to make a place for itself on the market for superior quality olive oil. In particular, it has won several prestigious awards, such as the 1st Prize for the best quality of olive oil in 2013, awarded by the National Chamber of Agriculture, the Gourmet d'Argent the same year, awarded by the Agence for the promotion of agricultural products, as well as the Golden Olive in 2014, awarded in China during the CHINA INTERNATIONAL fair.
