Crafted from Mission olives grown on the sunlit slopes of the Klein Nektar Estate in Montagu, this SA Olive–certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) reflects both the purity of its origin and the care behind every harvest. The olives are hand-picked and cold-extracted within hours to preserve their freshness, complexity, and aroma.
Graded “Delicate” by the SA Olive Tasting Panel (Reni Hildenbrand, 2025), the oil shows remarkable balance and finesse. It opens with notes of ripe olive, tomato, apple, and fresh herbs, supported by subtle bitterness (3.5) and pepperiness (3.4) for a smooth, harmonious finish.
The result is an elegant, versatile oil that enhances everything from fresh salads and seafood to warm bread and roasted vegetables — a true reflection of Klein Nektar’s artisanal spirit and dedication to authenticity.
