Small-batch extra virgin olive oil from Franschhoek - bottled in hand-crafted clay vessels designed to be used, held, and kept.
The Farm
Montpellier is a boutique olive farm in Franschhoek, set in the folds of the Drakenstein mountain range.
The landscape and sense of place shapes everything here - the pace, the process, the materials.
Building on a legacy of award-winning olive oil, Montpellier brings a renewed focus to quality, provenance, and craft that belongs.
Designed for the Senses
Olive Oil designed to bring you back to the senses - the feel of clay, the pour of oil, the rhythm of a kitchen. Celebrating a quieter, more conscious way of living: more texture, more origin, more intention. A bottle that stays on the table. An ingredient you reach for without thinking. A moment that slows you down.
The Oil
Small-batch extra virgin olive oil
Montpellier Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced in limited quantities from Frantoio and Favolosa olives, harvested at peak ripeness and pressed for freshness. The result is an oil that’s bold and clean, with a peppery lift, a bright green character, and a smooth, lingering finish.
The Vessel
Designed to belong
The oil is bottled in a hand-crafted clay vessel inspired by the farm’s landscape.
Each one is made by hand, intended to live on the table and be reached for often. No two are exactly alike in shape or shade.
Designed to be kept and enjoyed long after the last drop.
How to Use
A daily ritual
Pour generously. Use daily. Share often.
Made for cooking, roasting, dressing, and finishing — the daily staple that makes simple food taste better.
For bread and salt. For roast vegetables and crisp eggs. For soups, salads, and the vinaigrette you make on repeat. And for those who like it: a spoonful first thing in the morning.
We believe that the best things take time, and the most beautiful moments are shared. Meals are a ritual that bring people together - unhurried, generous - and cooking guided by instinct, not perfection.
