Estate-Grown Blend – South African, Fruity & Elegant, Cold-Extracted
Description
At the foot of the Helderberg Mountains in Stellenbosch—South Africa’s famed wine and olive region—Morgenster crafts one of the southern hemisphere’s most acclaimed extra-virgin olive oils. This estate-bottled EVOO is a harmonious blend of fourteen Italian olive varieties, each contributing nuanced flavor, complexity, and aromatic depth. Cold-extracted and unfiltered, the oil is left to settle naturally before blending and bottling to preserve its vibrant character.
Morgenster’s commitment to quality is evident in every stage of production—from advanced olive milling techniques to pristine cellar storage. The result is a bold, elegant oil that consistently earns top marks from international critics and culinary professionals alike.
