Tasting Notes

Délicate Huile d’Olive: hints of green tomatoes, herbs, artichokes and a restrained pepperiness on the finish. Naturally lifts sautees, salad dressings and baking.

Modérée Huile d’Olive: notes of green olive, olive leaf, artichoke, almonds, herbs and a mild peppery finish. The subtle spiciness enhances dishes like roasted vegetables and grilled shellfish.

Aromatique Huile d’Olive: full-bodied and adds distinctive flavours of green olives, ripe tomato and ripe olive with a rich, peppery finish. Decadent with layered flavours, use it on its own for dipping or to enhance the flavours in your signature dish.

History & Culture

Terre Paisible – Peaceful Land – is located at the gateway to the Franschhoek Valley with awe-inspiring views of the Simonsberg mountains. Our rich soils and mature olive groves combine to give us complex and textured oils that have been developed through patience, time and careful attention.

We sustainably farm five different Italian olive varieties: Favolosa, Frantoio, Leccino, Coratina and Delicata. Each variety is hand-harvested and cold-pressed to preserve the natural antioxidants, oleic and linoleic acids, which all contribute to your health and longevity. Olive varietals, like grapes, each have their own unique flavour and by combining these flavours we have crafted three styles to enhance all your favourite recipes.

Like our range of distinctive boutique premium wines, our oils are crafted to celebrate the natural excellence of our valley.

A world-class medical aesthetic spa will open at our tranquil retreat for rejuvenation and restoration.
