The People Behind RIO LARGO
At RIO LARGO, exceptional olive oil begins with exceptional people.
While our olive groves, olive mill, and award-winning products are central to our story, it is the dedication, skill, and commitment of our team that make everything possible. From the groves and production facilities to administration, packing, and customer service, every member of the RIO LARGO family plays an important role in our success.
We are proud to create meaningful employment opportunities and to foster a working environment built on respect, growth, and shared purpose.
Growing Together
As a family-owned business, we believe that our success should benefit the people and communities around us. Over the years, RIO LARGO has created employment opportunities within the Scherpenheuwel Valley and surrounding areas, providing stable work and skills development while supporting local families and livelihoods. We recognise that behind every bottle of olive oil are the hands, dedication, and expertise of the people who help bring it to life.
A Commitment to Community
RIO LARGO is committed to being a responsible member of the local community. Whether through employment, local partnerships, charitable initiatives, or community support projects, we believe in contributing positively to the region we call home. By investing in people, we help build stronger communities and create opportunities that extend far beyond the olive groves.
Sustainability Beyond the Estate
Our commitment to sustainability is not limited to the environment. Just as we strive to care for the land through responsible farming practices, we are equally committed to supporting the well-being of our employees, their families, and the wider community. We believe that long-term success is built on strong relationships, mutual respect, and a genuine commitment to people.
The Heart of RIO LARGO
Every bottle of RIO LARGO extra virgin olive oil represents the dedication of many people working together towards a shared goal of excellence. From nurturing the olive groves and harvesting the fruit to pressing, bottling, packaging, and delivering our products, every stage of the journey is supported by a passionate team committed to quality. Their knowledge, care, and attention to detail are at the heart of everything we do and play an essential role in maintaining the standards that have earned RIO LARGO recognition both locally and internationally.
More Than Olive Oil
RIO LARGO is more than an olive estate.
It is a community of people working together with passion, pride, and purpose to produce world-class extra virgin olive oil while making a positive impact on the lives of those around us.
Together, we grow more than olives — we grow opportunity, connection, and community.
