Bold & Flavorful
Expect a harmonious blend of peppery and fruity notes, perfect for drizzling over salads, dipping fresh bread, or finishing your favorite dishes. Each bottle captures the essence of the Mediterranean climate transplanted to the fertile lands of South Africa.
A Unique Southern Hemisphere Harvest
Unlike the Northern Hemisphere, where olives are harvested from September to January, Rio Largo’s olives are picked from April to July, ensuring a unique seasonal freshness.
The estate is home to three revered Italian olive cultivars—Frantoio, Coratina & Leccino Olives Crushed with Real Lemons—which thrive under South Africa's temperate weather conditions, creating a rich, bold flavor profile you won't find anywhere else.
Rio Largo is a family-run estate owned by Nick and Brenda Wilkinson. The farm includes olive orchards, vines, an olive nursery, and a state-of-the-art Oliomio mill, so fruit moves straight from grove to press on site.
Their signature blend of Frantoia, Leccino, and Coratina has earned “multi-award-winning” status and is offered in protective packaging that keeps oxygen and light at bay.
