Mont Rouge
Olive Estate
The olive groves blend in beautifully with the natural environment, and because we are blessed with limey soil and an abundance of mountain spring water, making it the perfect Mediterranean terroir for olive cultivation. At an elevation of approximately 250 meters above sea level, in limy soils, this makes for perfect Mediteranean terroir for olive cultivation.
Our orchards consist of Mission, Frantoio, Kalamata, Leccino, Coratina, Manzanilla, Favoloza and Nocellara cultivars. Our olives are handpicked at optimal ripeness and the oil extracted cold to achieve extra virgin quality. Our table olives undergo a process of slow fermentation of 12-14 months. Whence bottled you can be assured of a product that has been preserved by limestone filtered mountain water, and salt of the earth – only.
“With over one thousand three hundred plant species occurring in this region, of which the African wild olive is one, the decision to move to cultivated olives was easy.”
