Favolosa Shapeshifter

Mardouw XXV Intense is made mainly from Coratina and FS17 olives grown at Mardouw Olive Estate near Swellendam in the Breede River Valley, at the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains. The olives are cold-pressed on the estate, yielding a certified extra virgin olive oil with a free acidity of 0.21% and a peroxide value of 5.0 meq/kg.

Oil Character

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originSwellendam, Western Cape, South Africa
Olive composition

Changing composition

The latest release lists Favolosa as its only recorded cultivar. OlioWise's release data lists different cultivar combinations across harvests.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character. Choose it if you enjoy seasonal variation and seeing how a product changes over time.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so. The changing list does not establish the producer's intention or guarantee a particular flavour difference.
