Story 2
De Rustica has made South African olive oil history after becoming the first local producer to win the top prize at the International Olive Council’s Mario Solinas Quality Awards in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Klein Karoo producer won the award with its Coratina extra virgin olive oil, after finishing second in last year’s competition.
The oil beat producers from Argentina, Chile, Australia, Brazil and Uruguay, despite South Africa having one of the smaller olive oil industries in the region.
De Rustica has also collected several other international and local awards for its olive oils this year.
