Organic extra virgin olive oil
Foxenburg’s Organic Extra Virgin olive oil has won three SA Gold and three silver medals – and a Best of Class Award in the New York International Competition.
Our olive groves comprise of aged trees of forty-five years and also young trees, all organically grown – and flourishing alongside the pristine Renosterveld and fynbos in the Groenberg nature reserve on the farm, out of reach of pollution and car fumes.
Our olives are handpicked and extracted the same day to ensure an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality. Our organic extra virgin olive oil is the natural oil extracted from the first pressing of our olives.
Our tree varieties are Mission, Frantoio and Luccino – yielding oils that are soft on the
palate with a medium fruity, slightly peppery flavour.
And of course, nature adds her own touch – a flavour distinct to the Foxenburg high mountain terrain.
