L’Ormarins Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Producer: L’Ormarins
Product Description
An Estate produced boutique Extra Virgin Olive Oil packaged in an Italian style dark green glass bottle, with cork closure and tamper seal.
The olive grove is situated on L’Ormarins Estate, Franschhoek. The three native Italian olive oil varieties are interplanted on a steep North facing slope, with weathered granite soils.
Harvest takes place between April and June every year. The olives are handpicked, in stages for optimal ripeness. Each batch of olives is then sent to a local olive oil presser in Franschhoek for pressing. Blending & bottling is done once the full harvest is complete and all the oil has been pressed.
