Great olive oil is often described in terms of what happens after pressing: bottling, storage, labelling. But some of the most important decisions happen before the oil even exists. At Kloovenburg, one of the estates in our range, olives are pressed on the same day they're harvested, with no delay for storage or transport in between.
That immediacy matters more than it might seem: olives begin to lose freshness the moment they're picked, so same-day pressing captures far more of what made the fruit worth harvesting in the first place.

Mardouw Olive Estate - The journey to superior olive oil doesn’t end at the press.

At Mardouw Olive Estate, we store our olive oil in stainless steel tanks to protect its quality and preserve its character.

The tanks provide 100% darkness, better temperature control, and protection from sudden temperature changes. They also help preserve polyphenols for longer — imperative for maintaining the highest grade of olive oil.

And because stainless steel does not react with the natural acids found in olive oil, it provides an ideal environment for storage.

Every detail matters when the goal is superior quality. 🌿

If you've noticed some bottles say "cold-pressed" while others say "cold-extracted," you might be wondering if one is better than the other. In practice, both describe the same underlying principle: olives processed mechanically, without heat or chemical treatment, kept below a specific temperature to preserve flavour and nutritional value.
What matters more than the specific term is whether the oil was genuinely processed this way at all, which is exactly why we only stock oils from estates that can prove it.

The habits we build around food often start earlier than we realise, sometimes as early as preschool. Research assessing eating habits in young children has looked at how closely families follow a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern, and what that means for long-term nutritional wellbeing.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a natural, easy way to bring that pattern into family meals: a drizzle over pasta, a base for a simple vegetable roast, or a dip for warm bread.

Maybe the real glow-up starts from within. 🌱

Longevity, skin and digestion. Olive oil has bern studied for more than just flavour.

And we are still discovering how much a bottle of ORA can do.

We tend to think of diet purely in physical terms: cholesterol, weight, energy levels. But there's a growing body of research looking at the connection between what we eat and how we feel, with some studies pointing to a link between sustained adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet and better psychological wellbeing over time.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as one of the foundations of that dietary pattern, plays a quiet but consistent role in that story.

It's one thing to say an olive oil is excellent. It's another to have that confirmed by independent judges, twice over. Mardouw and Tokara, both part of our current range, were awarded Gold at the 2025 SA Olive Awards. San Giuliano brought home Gold at the New York International Olive Oil Competition in 2023.
We didn't set out to collect medals. We set out to find genuinely excellent oil, and the judges agree.

The Best Oil for Scrambled Eggs, According to a Chef. And you guessed it, it's EVOO that adds that's special something!

I wanted to know which oil actually delivers in a skillet of scrambled eggs. I talked to a best-selling cookbook author and blogger for the answer.

Did you know Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes in three distinct styles — delicate, medium, and intense? The style depends on the olive cultivar and how ripe it was when pressed, and generally the greener the olive, the more peppery the flavour. Delicate suits bread and salads, medium works well in dressings and pasta, and intense holds up to cheese sauces and roasted meats.
