Stellenbosch

The region around the town of Stellenbosch is probably one of the best-known places in South Africa where wine is grown. It is located in the South African province of Western Cape, which borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Over 120 wine estates are located in Stellenbosch. They all benefit from the optimal climatic conditions required for top-quality winegrowing. The climate is Mediterranean, sunny and relatively dry in summer, but with sufficient rainfall in winter. The ocean within sight provides refreshing breezes and sufficient humidity, which are decisive factors for slow and harmonious fruit development, especially in midsummer. In the Bottelary area, which is considered the best red wine area in the region, fertile, stony granite soils ensure the top quality of the wines produced there. The foothills of the Simonsberg are also among the best red wine regions in the country. The summer days are long, there are cool breezes from the sea and the soil is excellent – red granite with a high clay content that retains water well. Some vines are planted on slate, which holds a lot of water in winter but dries out quickly in summer and therefore needs to be irrigated.

Stellenbosch is home to some of the most famous wine estates in South Africa. Traditional producers such as Aaldering, Asara, Babylon’s Peak, Bein, Graceland, Delheim, Kaapzicht, Kanonkop, Kleinood, Knorhoek, Meerlust, Morgenster, Quoin Rock, Van Ryn and Villiera are at home here.

African Oils

In 2009, Sarah and Michael Thompson founded African Oils with a vision: to showcase South Africa’s exceptional natural oils to the world. What started as a small family business near Hermanus has developed into one of the leading producers of high-quality South African vegetable oils.

African Oils is focused on delivering premium oils to connoisseurs and enthusiasts around the world. That is why the owners continue to invest in their idea of producing the very best oils of the highest quality. Especially taking into account the special climate and soil conditions of the South African Fynbos region.

Master oil producer Johan Pretorius is responsible for the exceptional quality. His feel for the balance of purity and intensity, coupled with sustainability and authenticity, is reflected in all products. The plants are selected exclusively by hand. All oils are cold-pressed and bottled unfiltered to preserve their natural properties.

The soils of the Fynbos region are poor in nutrients but rich in minerals, which gives the plants their special intensity. The cool sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean provides ideal growing conditions and preserves the natural aromas. This is essential for high quality. The exceptional purity and complex flavor profiles are hallmarks of African Oils products.
