Farm update 🌿

No soundtrack over this one. It would have meant dimming the beautiful sounds of the farm ~ the water, the trailer, the birds… all the little sounds that make this place what it is.

This is the dam we use to water our beloved olive groves, and we’re feeling very grateful for how full it is, despite the little rainy days we had this winter. 💧

October brings those warmer days, creeping back into the 30s, and the trees are groomed and happy. The flowers that covered the groves in September are now slowly turning into tiny little olives.

And here’s a little olive fact for you: only around 2% of the flowers will make it all the way to become an olive. And of those olives, only around 15–20% becomes olive oil.

So when you drizzle that golden oil over your food, you’re looking at a pretty remarkable journey ~

from flower, to fruit, to oil. 🫒

And ours is extracted just once, to make the extra virgin olive oil you know and love.

A decision that goes a long way for your health 🌿

On 24 October, we’re opening the farm for a day of learning, tasting and connecting ~ a chance to step into the world of olive oil, meet the people behind it, and get to know where your food comes from.

And if you can’t make it this time, our door (and DMs) are always open. We’re happy to answer your questions, share what we know and connect with you.

Because we believe you deserve to know the story behind what you feed your family. 🌿

Come meet us. Ask us anything.

A WHOLE 2K OF YOU!!! 🫒

Thank you for following along on our little digital journey ~ a way for us to bring the farm, the trees and the places our olive oil pours into, a little closer to you.

We’d love to see what you’re cooking with Piquetberg Olive Oil, so tag us or send us pictures. Otherwise, this is starting to feel like a very one-sided relationship 😉

Olive you all.

Farm visit (Part 2) 🌿

We tasted the three varieties grown on Agtervlei farm, alongside the combination of Mission, Frantoio and Coratina that you know as Piquetberg Olive Oil. Not only is tasting olive oil is a cherished sensory experience, but a great joy to be able to taste the fruit our latest harvest with them.

We then sat down for lunch, sharing stories and laughter. By the time they left, they felt more like friends than guests.

And there’s some exciting news coming soon about World Olive Oil Sommelier — Sarah Vachon beautiful (all things olive oil!) cookbook, Drizzle, that we will be sharing with you soon.

Thank you Jade Bentel | Oleologist 🫒 & Citizens of Soil — Extra Virgin Olive Oils for the visit.

UPPER UNION 🌿

A place where considered design, beautiful food and thoughtful hospitality come together.

We’ve loved getting to know the team at Upper Union and feel very fortunate to work alongside people who care so deeply about what they create from the space itself to what lands on the table.

A beautiful place, made even better by the people behind it.

Sommeliers’ Farm Visit (Part 1) 🌿

What began as a beautiful, misty morning as we prepared to welcome Jade Bentel | Oleologist 🫒 and the founders of Citizens of Soil — Extra Virgin Olive Oils turned into a glorious late-September day on the farm.

We finally got to meet Jade, a South African olive oil sommelier who was living in London and who introduced us to the wonderful Sarah and Michael, the couple behind Citizens of Soil and The Olive Bar.

We took a walk through the groves, spending time among the trees and welcoming our little new olives, on their way to growing and taking shape over the coming summer months.

Feeling immensely grateful to have such passionate olive oil lovers on Agtervlei farm with us. 🌿

SA OLIVE 🌿

This year, for the first time, we decided to enter the SA Olive Industry Awards, a competition celebrating South Africa’s finest Extra Virgin Olive Oils.

Our 2026 harvest was tasted and judged by a panel of local and international olive oil experts, assessing the oils for their sensory qualities, balance, complexity and overall character.

Piquetberg olive oil started as our family passion project therefore nerve-wrecking but mostly exciting to think our harvest has now been tasted alongside most South African producers.

We can’t wait to share our results with you and reveal our new bottles, coming soon.
