Tasting Notes
Délicate: hints of green tomatoes, herbs, artichokes and a restrained pepperiness on the finish. Naturally lifts sautés and salad dressings.
Modérée: notes of green olive, artichoke, almonds and a mild peppery finish. Perfect with roasted vegetables and grilled shellfish.
Aromatique: full-bodied with distinctive flavours of green olives, ripe tomato and a rich, peppery finish. Decadent when drizzled over your signature dishes.
History & Culture
Terre Paisible – which means Peaceful Land – is located at the gateway to the Franschhoek Valley with awe-inspiring views of the Simonsberg mountains. The land here is a source of energy and revitalisation where a sense of abundance and peace envelops you.
We sustainably farm 5 different Italian varieties: Favolosa, Frantoio, Leccino, Coratina and Delicata. We hand-harvest and cold-press to preserve the natural antioxidants, oleic and linoleic acids, which contribute to your health and longevity.
Olive varietals each have their own unique flavour and by combining these flavours we have crafted three styles to enhance all your favourite recipes.
Visit our tranquil retreat where we have recently opened a world-class medical aesthetic and rejuvenation spa. Wine tastings by appointment on Sundays & Mondays.
