De Rustica Olive Estate’s Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil ranked in the Top 10 Healthiest Olive Oils in the World at the 2025 Evooleum Awards, another golden win for SA!
South Africa (21 July 2025) – South Africa’s olive oil game is anything but basic, and once again, De Rustica Olive Estate is pressing all the right buttons.
Their single-cultivar Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil just scooped a spot on the Top 10 Healthiest Olive Oils in the World at the 2025 Evooleum Awards in Spain, thanks to an impressive polyphenol count of 576. That’s not just great news for foodies, but for anyone chasing heart health, longevity, and a drizzle of something delicious over their summer salad.
Polyphenols, the mighty plant compounds behind olive oil’s reputation as a health hero, are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The higher the count, the more potent the benefits. De Rustica’s oil doesn’t just taste luxurious, it nourishes on a whole new level.
This is not the estate’s first moment in the Mediterranean sun either. De Rustica was crowned among the world’s best at this year’s EVOOLEUM 2025, clinching 2nd place overall; continuing to pour excellence into every bottle.
Tucked in the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains, the farm’s dedication to quality, sustainability and science-backed health benefits has put South Africa firmly on the global olive oil map.
So whether you’re dipping, drizzling or dreaming up a wellness-forward feast, just know: South Africa is bringing world-class goodness to your kitchen counter, one golden drop at a time.
