A Taste of Africa Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 500ml | Rio Largo

Experience the Soul of Africa in Every Drop

A Taste of Africa Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a 500ml journey through the continent's rich flavors, crafted by Rio Largo to capture the warmth and vibrancy of African terroir. This bold yet balanced EVOO is a celebration of sun-drenched groves and ancient olive traditions.

✔ Robust African Blend – Pressed from premium North African olives
✔ Ultra-Low 0.2% Acidity – Premium quality standard
✔ Cold-Extracted – Below 26°C to preserve bold character
✔ Unfiltered – Maximum polyphenol retention (450+ mg/kg)

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Sun-warmed herbs and ripe figs

• Palate: Dense olive fruit with hints of harissa spice

• Finish: Warm, peppery crescendo (3+ seconds)

Why This Oil Stands Out:

• Inspired by African Heritage – Supports sustainable farming cooperatives

• Versatile Powerhouse – Stands up to bold flavors

• Gift-Ready – Handcrafted packaging with tribal motifs

• Ethically Sourced – Direct trade with African growers

Perfect Pairings:
▸ Drizzled over Moroccan tagines
▸ Enhancing peri-peri marinades
▸ Balancing bitter greens (like Ethiopian kale)
▸ Finishing South African braai meats

Wellness Benefits:

• High in oleocanthal – Natural anti-inflammatory

• 78% oleic acid – Heart-healthy profile

• Rich in antioxidants – Supports immune health
