PRINCE ALBERT: KAROO OLIVE ESTATE WITH OIL PRODUCING PLANT

Situated in the heart of the Karoo, this 25.43-hectare olive estate not only produces quality olives but is also renowned for its top olive brand, producing various olive products.

A lucrative income stream is generated from three sources operating in synergy with each other while visitors can delight in country comfort and escape to an authentic, Karoo olive farm experience.

Olives:

All olives are handpicked and processed on the estate. The unusually high level of lime in the soil combined with quality water and the magic of the Karoo climate gives rise to an ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil product with a superior taste and quality. Made with patience and care in the Prince Albert district of the Great Karoo!

The hectares covered in olive groves consist of 3670 trees under micro irrigation. The cultivars (Frantoio, Favalosa, Coratina, Kalamata and Mission) can be used for oil and table olives. Olive picking starts in March and can continue until July, depending on the crop size.

Exceptional quality olive oils are pressed by an olive press on the estate and various olive products can be purchased. The estate is widely renowned for its delicious olives and quality olive products supplying to various supermarkets and delicatessen outlets. Olives from other producers in the region are also bought in to fill the huge demand.

The factory consists of reception and tasting areas boasting phenomenal views from the stoep. The oil processing plant, bottling and storage facilities are well-designed and functional.
