Olyfbergs award-winning olive oil is a blend of three cultivars: Mission, Leccino and Frantoia. The unique combination of oils pressed from these three varieties (50% black, 50% green) is what give Olyfberg its characteristic qualities.The complex confluence of taste, aroma and visual qualities begins in the soil. The soil is prepared by ripping and plouging the land, to allow the roots to penetrate in search of moisture. Each of the 35 000 trees is irrigated, using water from the Breede River. The trees are pruned annually to a height of 2,2 metres to ensure ease of harvesting.The oil is extracted from the best handpicked olives through the use of the latest technology plant from Pieralisi. This technology ensures the least contact with oxygen. The oil is further refined by putting it through a separator.
