Winter has finally arrived!

As with many aspects of farming, adaptability is key, especially in the face of unpredictable
challenges like the unusually high temperatures throughout the Western Cape this summer. This, it is
believed, causes lower oil generation in the olives, resulting in generally lower yields, a problem that
has impacted the industry throughout the province. Added to this, unseasonal rains in late April and
May swelled the fruit and interrupted our harvest. But, despite these challenges, our team emerged
with another vintage of superior quality oils of which we are proud.
Olive connoisseurs from the USA visited De Rustica early in the harvest so that they could be one of
the first in line to sample our new season’s EVOO. They were suitably impressed, and premium De
Rustica EVOO is now sold in the USA.
