Where are the best olive groves in South Africa?
The 330-hectare family-owned-and-run olive estate on the banks of the Breede River near Swellendam in the Western Cape is one of the most extensive olive groves in Southern Africa. The area is blessed with a Mediterranean climate and fertile soils that are ideal for cultivating olives.
How many litres of olive oil does Greenleaf produce a year?
At full production, The Greenleaf Olive Company produces approximately 850,000 litres of Extra Virgin Olive Oil per year. Time is of the essence to ensure optimum quality. We harvest and process the fruit into oil in the shortest possible time. Therefore our farm was developed so that our groves are suitable for mechanical harvesting.
