It's all about the Epilogue, Olive
Just a few words to thank the Chef’s who have shared a recipe where Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the key ingredient to enhance the dish. We have talked to Producers who share their experiences as they work hard to produce an excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We have spent time with Buyers and ‘Branding’ experts who have shown us the need to bring a unique ‘narrative’ to our products, so it stands out. We have demystified the Science around Polyphenols, Free Fatty Acids, Antioxidants, and Free Radicals in the hope that it will give our community the tools to enable it to share the reasons why we should be using Extra Virgin Olive Oil every day!

It's all about the oil, Brenda.
Brenda Wilkinson has lived in Central Africa from 1990.  “I look around at the ‘emptiness’ of consumerism and that fast life and am almost happy that global 'lock-down' stopped us in our tracks for a while to reflect.”  Brenda was born in South Africa, trained as a teacher and after school, met and married her husband Nick, and produced two beautiful daughters. Brenda and Nick bought the olive estate RIO LARGO in 2010 knowing very little about what was ahead of them. Brenda soon became involved in the marketing of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Nick so passionately produced. Starting from scratch, Brenda has built a brand in ten years with sales that continue to grow in local and international markets, with authenticity and hard work!   “Make every moment and every cent count… spend your money and your time wisely.” To contact Rio Largo please use the links below. https://instagram.com/riolargooliveestate?igshid=11hqklqqe909c https://www.facebook.com/riolargooliveestate www.riolargo.co.za

An Antidote to Fear - Yvette Jordaan
Yvette Jordaan - Photographer About me  I love life.....  I believe there is light in everyone and light in everything.  It is this light that I search for when capturing moments.  I see the light falling across your brand on the front of a glass bottle, the light in the golden glow of freshly brewed product, lovely light dancing in the steam coming off a pot of delicious goodness or simply just the beauty of light streaming in through the glass window falling softly on the couch in your reception area.  I marvel at Creation and look to nature for my inspiration, the striking simplicity of intricate patterns, the vividness of colour, the harmony in the wind rustling through the trees, the light dancing on the crest of a wave, the softness of the air in the early morning and the depth of striking stars at night, all touch my soul.  My style of photography is very natural, yet striking. I love bringing your business and your brand to life. www.yvettejordaan.com
