Let your next journey be to Oakhurst Olives, nestled in a quiet corner of the Tulbagh Valley.
Cold-pressed from hand-picked olives at peak ripeness, our Extra Virgin Olive Oil captures the true essence of the fruit. With a harmonious balance of fruitiness, subtle peppery notes, and a smooth, lingering finish, it elevates every dish, from simple salads to gourmet creations.
Our Kalamata olives are plump, almond-shaped, and deep purple, offering a smooth, fleshy texture and a rich, meaty flavour. Hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, they are carefully cured in natural brine to enhance their flavour while preserving their authentic character.
A unique vegetarian Mediterranean spread crafted from finely chopped olives, capers, and high-quality olive oil. Bursting with robust flavours, it is perfect for spreading on artisan bread, enhancing canapés, or adding a gourmet touch to salads, pasta, and roasted vegetables.
Nestled in a quiet corner of the Tulbagh Valley, our farm thrives under sun-drenched summers and crisp winters, producing olives of remarkable character and flavour.
From our hand-harvested fruit to cold-extracted oils and naturally cured olives, every product reflects the care and dedication of our family and team. Explore our groves, taste our creations, and experience the magic of Oakhurst Olives.
