Questions about this score

How was Rio Largo Premium scored?

The number on this page is the count of NYIOOC golds for Rio Largo Premium. The medal arithmetic underneath uses scoring version 1.0.0 for ranking year 2026: medal points times prestige times recency. There is no laboratory panel, so the 30% lab weight is not applied.

Is Rio Largo Premium a real competition result?

Yes. Rio Largo Premium is a NYIOOC record published by Olive Oil Times. The medals on this page are those results. We did not add a laboratory panel.

Do the polyphenols decide the rank?

They are 40% of the laboratory score, and the laboratory is 30% of the final score when a panel exists. A high polyphenol oil with a thinner medal record stays behind a stronger set of medals. If there is no panel, polyphenols do not enter at all.
