Muiskraal Black Olives are a premium South African olive product grown and bottled on the Muiskraal farm near Riversdale in the Klein Karoo. Harvested at peak ripeness and preserved in a lightly salted brine, these black are known for their crisp texture and well-balanced, savoury flavour. The olives are presented whole with pits intact, maintaining their integrity and allowing the natural character of the fruit to shine through. The Freeman family considers these to be among the finest table olives available, a view echoed by many who’ve tasted their rich, briny depth.

These olives are exceptionally well suited to platters, cheese boards and antipasti spreads, but also hold their own in cooked dishes such as tapenades, tagines or roasts. The generous 1 L and 2 L jars offers excellent value and convenience, especially for households that enjoy entertaining. Rinsed lightly, they can be served straight from the jar, or dressed with herbs, lemon or garlic for added complexity.

Beyond their immediate table appeal, these olives provide real kitchen versatility. Their firm texture holds up in both cold and warm dishes, offering an easy way to elevate everyday meals. Because they’re locally grown and packed, they support regenerative South African farming and reduce the carbon footprint of imported alternatives. Kept refrigerated after opening, they’ll remain fresh and flavourful for weeks.
