A formidable husband-and-wife team
While Pieter is the wine farmer, his wife Annalene is Kloovenburg's olive specialist. The idea of planting olive trees was conceived by Pieter's father, who believed that diversification was important, in order to keep the farm busy when the grape season was over. Today the harvest of olives is produced by three different cultivars.
Annalene, who started selling a range of bottled olives from the farm house, has since made a name for herself with the quality of her constantly evolving range that includes olive oil, bottled olives, tapenade and several other fascinating olive-related products.
The olives of Kloovenburg
Kloovenburg's serene groves of grey-green olive trees, covering 30 hectares, produce many tons of fruit per season. The residents 'olive farmer', Pieter's wife Annalene, has turned this rich harvest into a thriving industry with an ever-expending, innovative range.
Drawing on the traditions of Mediterranean countries, she is expanding the non-culinary uses of olive oil into the area of beauty products. These items, together with novel fragranced 'play dough', are on sale at the farm, most outlets that supply Kloovenburg wines and selected delicatessens.
