COVID-19 NOTICE : In addition to the highest international food standards (FSSC22000), Mardouw implements strict measures in support of South Africa's efforts to stop the spread of the Corona virus [+]
Platinum, a precious silvery-white metal, was first encountered in the 16th century and has been used in the most sought-after jewellery ever since. Today, it can be found on the bottle of Mardouw’s Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
Every year, olive oils from all over the world are submitted for organoleptic tastings to jury panels from Greece, Italy, Spain, the USA, the Netherlands, Turkey, Israel, Slovenia, Tunisia, Brazil, Portugal and France – olive oil experts cherry-picked especially for the London Olive Oil Awards. Hundreds of olive oils are swirled, sniffed, slurped, swallowed and ranked blindly and anonymously into categories of bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
“This award is consistent with Mardouw’s international recognition,” beams André Verder, owner of the Swellendam-based olive estate. “It’s the culmination of a long process that is driven by determined and pinpoint-precise investment, farming and pressing. But still, to be awarded the highest accolade by an international jury in a toughly adjudicated competition, is a real feather in Mardouw’s cap. It shows that our proudly South African olive oils mustn’t shy away from rubbing shoulders with some of the best Mediterranean olive oils.”
Mardouw’s Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made of a blend of cultivars, including FS17, grown at the private Mardouw olive estate at the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains in Swellendam. It is available from selected Woolworths, Pick ‘n Pay and Spar stores, or can be ordered online from mardouw.com.
31 May 2021 – Once again, Mardouw has been recognised internationally for its outstanding quality and for its consistency in producing extra virgin olive oil of the highest and healthiest standards. A much coveted award was received at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition – the world’s largest and most prestigious olive oil contest, held annually in New York. “In an extraordinary year full of logistical challenges, this is a real feather in the cap of our team,” says Mardouw general manager Philip King. “This award demonstrates once again that the harmonious collaboration between the abundant natural resources, a team of ambitious professionals and innovative equipment at the Mardouw farm is a guarantee for consistency and quality.” The annual listing of NYIOOC award winners is considered the authoritative guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils / Buy the winning oil here
Mardouw Olive Estate’s history goes back many years, its roots loosely intertwining with Alderman van Eeden’s, who was born and bred at Mardouw. After the Verder family from Antwerp, Belgium purchased the farm from the van Eeden family in 2002, Mr. van Eeden stayed on for many years, juggling his engagements in Langeberg politics with the position of farm manager at Mardouw. When the farm was transformed from a wine farm into an olive farm, and 15 hectares of grapes were replaced by 50,000 olive trees, Mr. van Eeden gradually decreased his involvement with Mardouw’s farming operations, and after 10 years eventually decided to step down as Mardouw farm manager to make more time available for his devotion to local politics.
The entire Mardouw team wishes Alderman van Eeden good luck in his new position.
The SA Olive Awards annually hand out South Africa’s most prestigious seal of excellence to local extra virgin olive oil producers.
Our flagship Intense Extra Virgin Olive Oil is special, in that it is an exceptionally balanced olive oil, boasting a remarkably complex but well-balanced, fruity, bitter and peppery flavour.

[ NEW YORK ] Mardouw is going places, even during lockdown! Mardouw’s Premium EVOO was selected among the best Olive Oils for 2020 at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. Widely considered the world’s largest and most prestigious olive oil contest, the NYIOOC is considered the authoritative guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils.
We are delighted to announce that our 2020 olive harvest is in full swing. In addition to the highest international food safety standards (FSSC22000), Mardouw implements strict measures in support of South Africa’s efforts to stop the spread of the Corona virus.
Our harvest season has started and we expect to harvest until end of May. This is a critical time of year for our business.

[ POLYPHENOLS ] Our latest lab tests show Polyphenol values of 692 mg/kg. Here’s why this is remarkable: Polyphenols give olive oil its unique taste, improve its shelf life, and have been associated with lower incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease. A phenol count of less than 120 (as expressed by mg/kg) is considered low. Virgin oils with a phenol count between 120 and 220 are considered medium. Olive oils with a count above 220 are considered high in Polyphenols. Some of the more intense extra virgin olive oils will contain levels of 350 or higher.
The Mardouw Skincare® 250ml extra virgin olive oil is now available from Pick ‘n Pay in Gauteng, and will be available at Pick ’n Pay in the Western Cape from November. Read more about our Skincare range at mardouw.com/skincare/
“In an industry where many top quality EVOOs are produced, being an Absa Top 10 winner speaks of excellence and a dedication to the craft. The competing oils were individually blind tasted by an international panel of experts in a controlled environment over a period of four days. For panel leader, Müge Nebioğlu, it was her first introduction to such a vast array of South African EVOOs. Müge commented that ‘the judging was an incredible experience and the oils were excellent. SA producers are very knowledgeable and their use of modern technology produces very good oils’. Olive oil experts and second time judges in the competition, José Mingo from Chile and Pablo Canamasas from Argentina, completed the international contingency. Reni Hildebrand and Benedetta Lami – both regular faces on international judging panels – and SA Olive tasting panel members, Louise Rabie, Theresa Louw, and Mare Groenewald represented South Africa.” [ source: saolive.co.za ]

Mardouw Olive Estate scooped a double gold at the 2018 SA Olive Awards held on 23 August 2018 at La Paris Estate in Paarl. Building on the Swellendam based Olive Estate’s 2017 double gold accomplishment, Mardouw’s flagship XXV Intense and the Mardouw Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil have been acknowledged by a panel of local and international tasting judges from the USA, Spain and Argentina, for their distinct quality and flavour.
“We are proud to see that the Mardouw brand is establishing itself as a consistent, gold-awarded brand,” says André Verder, Mardouw Olive Estate owner and long-time investor in South Africa’s olive oil industry. “Years of investing in research, soil, trees, people and equipment are today culminating in top products that are being valued for their natural purity and culinary finesse all over the world.”
Mardouw’s olives are grown in Mediterranean-like climate and soil conditions at the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains in Swellendam. Gentle hand-picking at optimal ripeness, careful cold extraction within 24 hours after harvest, and expertly blending by resident oil wizard Chris van Niekerk, guarantee the unique, fruity and sharp peppery characteristics of Mardouw’s extra virgin olive oil. The entire process, from fruit to flask, takes place at the Mardouw estate.
“Olive oil is only Extra Virgin if the free fatty acid content is below 0,8%,” explains Philip King, Mardouw General and Sales Manager. “That’s the international standard, promulgated by the International Olive Council. Mardouw takes this one step further, by returning consistently remarkably low lab results of 0.24% FFA and 4.0 meq/kg PV for XXV, and 0.37% FFA and 6.0 meq/kg PV for our Oil of the Olive. That’s quality in numbers.”
Mardouw Olive Estate’s olive oil products, including a special Mardouw Skin Care range, are marketed in South Africa and Europe. The Mardouw XXV Intense is available from Woolworths in South Africa, while the Mardouw Skin Care range is available from www.mardouw.com in South Africa and from leading pharmacies in Germany.

“We have never stopped to strive for the best,” says Mardouw owner André Verder. Mardouw’s XXV was among the 10 exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Absa Top 10 Olive Oil competition to earn the much-coveted status of South Africa’s 2017 Absa Top 10. Mardouw’s Extra Extra Virgin Olive Oil (XXV) is a pure, natural oil made from hand-picked olives, same-day cold extraction and blending of the best cultivars at the privately owned Mardouw Olive Estate in Swellendam, South Africa.
The 16th annual olive oil competition in memory of Marco Zichella took place recently and the winners were announced in Stellenbosch on Saturday 28 October.
This prize was instituted in 2002 by Marco Zichella’s wife Piera and his daughter Benedetta to honour his vision and his passion for olive oil.
The judges, Reni Hildenbrand, Louise Rabie, Nico Loubser, Gert Van Dyk and Benedetta Lami, were delighted with the quality of the oils, more confirmation that South Africa is produing olive oils which can compete with the best internationally.
The oils were evaluated and awarded prizes based on the perception of positive characteritics, with emphasis on attributes such as harmony (balance) and complexity. The prize-giving ceremony took place at benedetta’s home in Stellemnbosch, in an atmosphere of true Italian hospitality and friendship.
The three winners in the different categories each received a hand painted ceramic plate, with the Zichella family crest (…) Intense category: 1st prize: Mardouw Premium XXV Intense (Swellendam) (…) {Copyright: Eikestad Nuus}

Mardouw’s XXV is among the 10 exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Absa Top 10 Olive Oil competition to earn the much-coveted status of SA’s 2017 Absa Top 10.
A panel of olive oil experts evaluated close to 90 South African olive oils from the 2017 harvest via a strict and controlled tasting. The Absa Top 10 olive oils were selected from the 19 SA Olive gold seal award winners deemed worthy of the highest accolade in the country.
According to SA Olive chairperson, Nick Wilkinson, South African olive oil producers produce world-class olive oils that continuously receive acclaim in competitions across the world. “The SA Olive Awards which culminate in the announcement of the prestigious Absa Top 10 give local consumers a taste of the best of the best. SA Olive provides assurance that these competitions maintain international standards and thus gives consumers the confidence that buying SAO approved olive oils is a wise choice. { Source : saolive.co.za }

PRESS RELEASE / FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION / 2017-08-25
Mardouw was awarded 2 gold awards at the 2017 SA Olive Awards. Mardouw’s Extra Virgin olive oil (EVOO), as well as the soon to be launched flagship superior Extra Extra Virgin olive oil (XXV), scooped up the top prize among more than 100 South African olive oil producers. SA Olive is an association representing the common interests of the South African olive industry, representing olive growers, olive oil producers, table olive producers, tree nurseries and olive importers.
“We have never stopped to strive for the best,” Mardouw owner André Verder says. “The international standards for Extra Virgin olive oil require olive oil’s fatty acid (oleic) content (FFA) to be less than 0.8% and its peroxide value (PV) less than 20 mEq/kg. Mardouw’s lab results consistently return remarkable values, with the latest results showing 0.35% FFA, and 4.0 meq/kg PV.”
Mardouw’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a pure, natural oil made from hand-picked olives, same-day cold extraction (or “cold-pressed”) and blending of the best cultivars at the privately owned Mardouw Olive Estate in Swellendam, South Africa.
Mardouw’s XXV flagship olive oil will be launched in Cologne, Germany at Anuga on 7 October 2017.
We just can’t wait to launch our 2 new products, a skin care olive oil and our premium extra EVOO (we call it the #XXV) at Expopharm (DÜSSELDORF 13 – 16 SEP 2017, HALL 6, STAND K 37) and Anuga Taste The Future (SA PAVILION FOR FINE FOOD, COLOGNE 7 -11 OCT 2017, HALL 11.1 B050G, A050G, A051G)
My name is Ehud Soriano, the head of the Israeli olive oil testing panel and an olive oil quality consultant, instructing and guiding olive oil producers about olive oil quality.
I want to bring to your attention something I saw in your advertissement: “Mardouw is one of the few olive oil producers on the world market, which provides guaranteed pure olive oil”.
First, there is no category in the IOC standard for “Pure” olive oil. I know you meant “excellent quality” and a guarantee of the best olive oil, but “pure” is not a professional existing term in olive oil. Second, and even more important – in some countries (USA is a good example but not the only one) “pure olive oil” means refined olive oil. Maybe you should consider using another word instead of “pure”.
I have known Mardouw Extra Virgin Olive Oil for several years. I met the producer at Anuga 2015 (I was an olive oil consultant in the “Olive Oil Market” of the fair). I tasted the oil of Mardouw in different occasions and enjoyed the tasting – you indeed have an excellent olive oil.
As fellows on the road of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I thought it was worthwhile pointing out the “pure” olive oil” dual meaning.
More shops in Germany will be stocking Mardouw’s extra virgin olive oil real soon: Fegro/Selgros Cash & carry markets, Kaufhof, Karstadt, Handelshof, Metro, and Edeka Süd West!
Very exciting news! Thanks to Küper Import, Mardouw’s Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is now available in Germany at 48 Fegro / Selgros Cash & carry markets, and will be available from Kaufhof from October. This Premium Olive Oil from the new 2017 harvest has only 0,27 % acidity and a peroxide value of only 5,8 %. Olive Oils of Mardouw won in 2014, 2015 2016 and 2017 Silver and have been awarded with CTC quality seal. The Olives are irrigated with fresh mountain from the long mountain range and are free of color & preservatives.
We are once again very proud to announce that the lab tests for our 2017 harvest EVOO olive oil return values of less than 0.6% free fatty oleic acid. This is a true accomplishment by our oil master Chris van Niekerk, seeing that the International Olive Council requires less than 0.8% free acidity for a virgin olive oil to be labelled extra virgin
After testing sunflower oil, vegetable oil, corn oil, cold pressed rapeseed oil, olive oil (refined and extra virgin), butter and goose fat, BBC’s Trust Me, I’m a Doctor’s Prof Grootveld thinks the ideal oil for cooking purposes is olive oil, “because it is about 76% monounsaturates, 14% saturates and only 10% polyunsaturates – monounsaturates and saturates are much more resistant to oxidation than polyunsaturates”.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the natural fruit juice that has been extracted from olives at a temperature below 30°C, and without any additions or modifications. It has zero defects on sensory tasting and meets chemical criteria to ensure that the free acidity (oleic acid) value is 0.8% or lower and the peroxides are less than 20meg/kg. Mardouw guarantees these conditions.
We believe in gently handpicking our olives to preserve their delicate flavours and textures. Learn more about how we make extra virgin olive oil here: How we make olive oil

The new look for the Mardouw Olive Product range now showcases Mardouw’s dedication to produce proudly South African olive products of superior quality, in harmony with nature. The tree – a representation of an olive tree made from metal wires and proudly displayed at the stoep at Mardouw’s Manor House in Swellendam – takes centre stage in the new design, while black, white and gold set the tone.
“A premium olive product requires a premium look,” says André Verder, Mardouw Olive Estate owner. “We have contracted Online Brand Ambassadors to come up with proposals for our new packaging design. Some of the proposals were funky and modern, others were more conservative and safe. We have chosen for a combination of both – modern and fresh while incorporating the broad design concepts we initially set out in 2014. This way we can show customers that the Mardouw product range and brand is being fine-tuned all the time, while our core principles – producing natural quality olive products – remain unchanged.”
Cold-pressed olive oil means that the entire process, from crushing to storing, is temperature-controlled, to retain flavour, aroma and nutritional values. Read more about how we make olive oil here

South Africa is facing its worst drought in 33 years, affecting crop and livestock farmers all over the Western Cape and in the rest of South Africa. For many farmers, natural water shortage is a major problem, and with much needed rains staying away and dams at an all-time low, many of them fear the worst for the next harvest. Mardouw in Swellendam, however, is in a unique position to cope with drought spells.
“Our trees have successfully blossomed a month ago and are now settling in preparation to start growing fruit,” says Chris van Niekerk, general manager at Mardouw. “While the unusual drought does pose a number of challenges, Mardouw’s olive trees are quite privileged with the unlimited supply of ice-cold, fresh mountain water gushing down the surrounding Langeberg Mountains. We believe that this drought will hardly affect our next harvest, and look forward to a promising season.”
