Mardouw Unique Selling Points (USP)
- Olive oil is only “Extra Virgin” if the acid content is below 0,8% and the peroxide value less than 20 mEq/kg. Mardouw comfortably meets these standards, with values of 0.18% and 9.80Eq/kg (2016 harvest, download oil lab results 2016)
- All Mardouw’s olive products (oil, olives, paste) are produced from olives grown on the privately owned Mardouw Olive Estate in Swellendam, making it true “Estate Products”.
- Mardouw’s location is perfect for cultivating olives, naturally. While fresh mountain water off the Langeberg Mountains guarantees a virtually unlimited supply of pure mountain water, Swellendam’s Mediterranean climate and fertile Breede River Valley soil provide provide optimum conditions for our 50,000 olive trees to thrive happily.
- Mardouw’s olive oil is made from blending the best cultivars, which have been stored seperately and blended to perfection by our resident olive oil expert.
- Mardouw’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a pure, natural oil made from hand-picked olives, same-day cold extraction (or “cold-pressed”) – meaning that the entire process from crushing to storing is temperature-controlled. This is important for olives to retain all of their flavour, aroma, and nutritional values. While “cold-pressed” usually refers to temperatures below 28°C, we keep them below 20°C.
- Mardouw is a member of SA Olive – an association representing the interests of the South African olive industry and while guaranteeing the quality of locally produced olive oils.
