Oryx Ridge Olives & Olive Oil

Oryx Ridge Farm is located on the southern banks of the Breede River about 15km before the river cuts through the mountain on its way to Robertson. The valley is hemmed in on the south by rolling foothills and koppies extending far back to the Riviersonderend Mountains.

At Oryx Ridge the table olives and cold pressed extra virgin olive oil are produced from the very best Mediterranean varieties. With the healthy Karoo soil and climate, minimal interventions in the form of chemicals are needed and the farm’s relative isolation means that there is no cross infection from neighbouring farms. We aim to farm as organically as possible and organic pest control and an integrated pest management approach is followed. We analyse the fruit every year and always have zero residues detected in the results.

No chemicals are used in the processing of table olives and oil. Table olives are fermented in rainwater and natural salt only, with the fermentation carefully monitored to stop at the perfect stage to maintain flavour and firmness. Careful sorting ensures only the best olives are packaged. Known for their natural non-acidic flavour and firm, fruity body these olives are great for cooking,
salads, as a gift or simply as a healthy snack.
