High quality olive oil from South Africa
In addition to excellent wine, the winegrowers in South Africa are increasingly producing particularly high-quality olive oils, which they obtain from their own cultivated olive groves. In the Europe, the tradition of olive oil cultivation dates back to ancient times. The oldest olive tree in the world on Crete, which is around 4,000 years old, is considered to be a primeval tree, as it is the source of around one thousand cultivated sub-varieties. But South Africa does not need to hide behind the giants from Europe, because even though the production of olive oil is not too old, the oils convince by their particularly pure and high quality. In 1893 olive trees were planted for the first time in Paarl, which had previously been brought from California. After only 14 years the farmer Jan Minnaar succeeded in winning the prize for the best olive oil of the British Empire after an exhibition in England. In the South African olive groves mainly Italian olive varieties can be found, because Ferdinando Costa from Genoa planted the first trees from native olives in 1925, which quickly became popular with other farmers.
