The awards are crucial in recognising excellence and dedication in the local olive oil industry.
Judging will occur from 19 to 24 August 2024 at Klein Joostenberg, near Stellenbosch. A panel of six EVOO experts, including an international judge, will assess the entries. Top gold medal winners will attend an additional judging round for the Absa Top 10 Awards, scheduled for October 2024.
Wendy Petersen, CEO of SA Olive, shares her excitement: “Our producers have had a tough year, facing low yields, supply challenges, and loadshedding. Despite these hurdles, they have never compromised on quality and their commitment to consumers. We fully expect to see more high-quality EVOOs at this year’s awards – ones that could potentially win international accolades as well.”
