We were pretty stoked to have taken our best flavoured oil in show at the Melbourne Royal Food & Beverage Awards a few weeks back for our collaboration with Paul Farag for the Shatta Oil. This isn’t your typical chilli oil, it’s spiced yet clean, vibrant yet balanced - capturing the essence of walking through a bustling bazaar. Just add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and your work is done.

Herbs. Heat. Tradition. Innovation.
This is Sahawiq reimagined.
This collab saw bring one of signature flavours to life as an oil, cold co-pressing fresh ingredients with our olives to create something truly unique.

Mint. Garlic. Coriander. Chilli.
All crushed together with premium South Australian olives - capturing bold flavour in every drop.

Like all our pressed range, this isn’t infused after the fact. It’s crafted from the very beginning.

The result? A vibrant, balanced oil with fresh herb aromatics and gentle, warming finish - award winning and made to transform everyday.

Drizzle it. Dip it. Finish everything with it.

Get yours online now.

What a year. What a journey. 💚

From travelling to Italy to study at the EVOO School and proudly becoming professional olive oil tasters, to loading up the van for Little Food Market in Melbourne, sharing long tables with incredible producers, chefs and friends. From the buzz of another epic Chefs Day to the joy, laughter and community of CheeseFest — every moment has reminded us why we do this.

And then… those wins.
Being awarded Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Show, plus Best Italian Variety and Best Greek Variety at the Australian International Olive Awards still feels surreal. To stand alongside the very best and be recognised at this level is something we’ll never take for granted.

None of this happens without you. Your support, your messages, your feedback at markets, your trust in our oils — it means everything. We truly love our community and are so deeply grateful for every bottle poured, every meal shared and every cheer from the sidelines.

Here’s to olive oil that tells a story, to chasing excellence, and to the people who make it all worthwhile. Thank you for being part of the Rio Vista Olives family — we appreciate you more than words can say.
