This year, Rio Largo, a South African olive oil producer, was awarded Best In Class for their Premium Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the New York International Olive Oil Competition.

Rio Largo, owned by Nick Wilkinson, has been taking home some top awards from different competitions since opening in 2010.

Whilst Nick understands that awards are not everything, they do allow both the consumer and producer the knowledge that the oil produced is one that can be relied on for quality and taste. Nick is personally responsible for the ensuring that every aspect of the farm is under his watchful eye and is passionate about every litre he produces, only bottling this special product on order, thus ensuring the quality from tree to table.

The results of the 2016 New York Olive Oil Competition, which are broadcast live online and syndicated throughout the world in publications including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and countless international media outlets, prove that Rio Largo is not only a favourite of South Africans but is appreciated globally.
