Rio Largo Olive Estate

15/09/2026

A successful estate isn't built by the land alone. It is built by people.

At RIO LARGO, our employees and the surrounding community are an important part of our story. We believe in creating meaningful opportunities, building relationships and contributing positively to the community around our estate.

Our commitment extends beyond producing olive oil. It is about creating an environment where people can work, grow and feel that they are part of something worthwhile.

Because when people are valued, communities become stronger.

Looking for something delicious to serve with drinks, warm bread or your next meal?

Our Whipped Feta recipe combines creamy feta and yoghurt with fresh, vibrant flavours before being finished with RIO LARGO Overall Health & Wellness Functional Olive Oil.

It's a wonderful example of how olive oil can be more than something you cook with - it can be an important part of the finished dish itself.

Perfect for sharing and easy to prepare, this is the kind of recipe you'll want to make again.

The herbal depth of the Moringa & Buchu blend adds a green, subtly nutty dimension to the salty creaminess of feta, creating a dip that’s as good for your body as it is for your taste buds.

We see people.

People whose work, knowledge and dedication come together throughout the year to create something we are proud to put our name on. From the estate and production team to packaging, administration, sales and everyone who helps bring RIO LARGO to customers, every person plays a part.

Excellence isn't the work of one individual. It is the result of many people sharing a goal and taking pride in what they do.

Long before olive oil reaches your kitchen, there is another challenge: protecting its quality.

RIO LARGO was one of the first olive oil producers in South Africa to introduce premium bag-in-box packaging - an innovative format designed with the protection of the oil in mind.

The format helps limit exposure to light and oxygen, two factors that can affect olive oil over time. It is another example of how our approach to quality extends beyond the olive grove.

Because producing exceptional olive oil is only half the journey. Preserving it until it reaches you matters too.

Olive oil may be the star, but every great kitchen needs a good supporting cast.

The RIO LARGO balsamic vinegar range is made for those finishing touches that bring balance and depth to food. Think fresh salads, marinades, roasted vegetables, dressings and all the creative combinations you can dream up.

Pair it with your favourite RIO LARGO extra virgin olive oil for a simple dressing, or let it shine on its own.

Because sometimes a few drops are all it takes to transform a dish.

Beautiful olive oil deserves beautiful packaging - but that doesn't mean the packaging needs to become waste.

The RIO LARGO Refillable Decanter offers a simple alternative. Keep your elegant decanter and refill it when you need more of your favourite extra virgin olive oil.

It is a practical approach to enjoying premium olive oil while reducing the need for single-use packaging. And because the decanter stays part of your kitchen, it becomes something you can keep using and enjoying.

Small changes can become meaningful habits.

There is something special about knowing where your food comes from.

RIO LARGO Olive Estate is situated in the Scherpenheuwel Valley near Worcester, alongside the Breede River. This beautiful setting is more than simply the address of our estate - it is an important part of our identity.

The landscape, the olive groves and the people who work here all contribute to the story behind RIO LARGO.

It is a place we are proud to call home, and a place whose character is carried from our estate to tables far beyond the valley.

Extra virgin olive oil occupies a special place in the kitchen. It can be used for cooking, dressing, dipping and finishing - while also bringing its own flavour and character to food.

It is also an important part of the Mediterranean way of eating and is valued for its naturally occurring antioxidants and monounsaturated fats.

At RIO LARGO, we believe extra virgin olive oil deserves to be appreciated as an ingredient in its own right. Once you start exploring its different flavours and uses, you may find yourself reaching for it far more often.
