PRINCE ALBERT OLIVES

Fred Badenhorst and his son Hein continue the tradition of a long line of farmers in a family who have lived off the soil and its bounty for generations. They saw the unique micro climate of the Prince Albert district producing beautiful figs, grapes, pomegranates and citrus – and realised that olives would be a natural fit.

They researched and followed international best practice in order to establish orchards and continue to harvest and process the fruit according to these high standards.

Apart from Prince Albert Olives, Fred and Hein farm free range sheep, cattle and game in the Prince Albert district and near Somerset East in the Eastern Cape. Hein and cousin Adi Badenhorst produce wine under the AA Badenhorst Family Wines and Secateurs labels in the Swartland appellation.

THE ORCHARDS

Fruit is grown and harvested in orchards in Prince Albert and outside the town near the Gamka river.
The first trees were planted in 2006 in Prince Albert and more trees were planted through to 2010.
In total about 75,000 trees are planted on approximately 145ha.

The main varietals produced:
Frantoio, Coratina, Favalosa, Leccino and Don Carlo (all Italian), Mission (Spanish), Koroneiki (Greek) and Barnea (Israeli). Kalamata and Manzanilla are produced for table olives.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

The fruit gets harvested by hand (mechanical harvesting will be implemented from 2013) and only extra virgin oils are produced, all carrying the CTC seal.
The great variety of olive cultivars allows for various styles of olive oil. The ‘Karoo Blend’ is a blend of Frantoio, Favalosa and Coratina olives. Single variety oils will be produced in the future.

PROCESSED OLIVES

Cured olives are produced from hand-picked Kalamata and Manzanilla varieties.

THE PRINCE ALBERT DISTRICT

The Great Karoo is a sparsely populated, semi desert area and a unique olive growing region of South Africa. The region is known for its clean and healthy air with ample sunlight and very cold winters. In the Swartberg and Nuweveld Mountains catchment area there is ample fresh water.

OLIVE OIL RECIPES

TUSCAN GARLIC BREAD Toast some garlic bread, preferably over an open fire. Rub with fresh garlic (the toast will act as a grater), and season with salt and pepper. Now drizzle with olive oil and enjoy.
TOMATO AND BASIL SALAD Cut some freshly picked and washed tomatoes into generous slices. Place overlapping slices on a shallow salad platter. Sprinkle with chopped onion, garlic and fresh basil. Then season with salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar and lashings of delicious olive oil.
	KAROO LAMB CHOPS Place the chops onto a tray, and make small incisions with a sharp knife. Add garlic and sprigs of rosemary into each incision. Pour four tablespoons of olive oil over the chops; then season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Allow to marinate for 1 to 2 hours. Heat your barbecue, add the chops and cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side – turning just once. Serve with bread and fresh garden salad.
