South Australia wins big in olive oil awards
South Australian olive oil growers and producers saw recognition for their goods at the Australian International Olive Oil Awards, whose winners were announced late October.
Companies, growers and manufacturers from all around the world were in competition with one another, with dozens of entrants in the awards. South Australian olive oil producers were the recipients of awards in a slew of categories including best in show.
Rio Vista Olives, one of the winning producers, scooped up a number of awards despite being a small company in a pool of larger ones.
“To have our Elisi Grove Kalamata stand out with a massive 95/100 and win best In Show for Commercial Extra Virgin Olive Oil, against strong dominating producers from the eastern states, has been a fantastic win for agricultural businesses within South Australia,” Jared Bettio, Director of award-winning Rio Vista Olives, explained.
“South Australian extra virgin olive oil is leading the way with premium olive oil offerings and putting the state on the map as a premium food choice for consumers.”
