Lions Creek olive oils are direct-from-farm via the Lions Creek Olive Estate. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made with premium olives such as Coratina, Frantoio, Barnea, Koroneika, and Favoloza which are harvested in South Africa.

Lions Creek extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade of virgin oil derived from cold mechanical extraction without the use of solvents or refining methods, and contains no more than 0.8% free acidity. This gives Lions Creek Extra Virgin Olive Oil a superior fruity and fresh olive taste, especially when compared to the cheaper alternatives found at your local grocery store.

The balsamic are made from a variety of cooked Italian grapes including Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Albana, Ancellotta, Fortana and Montuni. This gives Lions Creek balsamics a sweet, slight fruity, and wood aroma.

Extra virgin olive oil contains large quantities of healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and a moderate amount of vitamins E and K. The main monounsaturated fat in olive oils is oleic acid, which studies suggest reduces inflammation and may even have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. Due to extra virgin olive oil being high in monounsaturated fats, it is resistant to high heat and is a healthy cooking alternative with extraordinary health benefits.

In some cases, the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil can fade over time as a bottle sits, is subject to direct sunlight, as well as frequent oxygen exposure after every pour. With Lions Creek products, you will never have to worry about the loss of taste or health benefits. This is because the bottles are deliberately made darker to defend the product from light exposure, and use a spout specifically engineered with argon gas to keep every pour as fresh and as flavourful as the first.

International Awards include: Double Gold from the Aurora International Taste Challenge, and Silver from the SA Olive Awards.
