It all started
in 1993 when I was given a bucket of ripe olives
and a recipe from a Jewish vet. What happened
in that bucket that year,
triggered a lifelong interest in olives, and what was a hobby turned into a
small busy business. The bucket made place for 200 L drums and the drums made
place for a portapool and now it's back to bigger tanks to accommodate 10 tons
a year. Olives ripen from March to July. Green olives are unripe olives, but
some cultivars are best used green like the sevillano. The most commonly planted
olive is the mission, which can be used green or black or for oil. The kalamata
is less plentiful, but much sought after. Other table olives are: Manzanilla
(used green) and noccillara (also used green). Olives used for oil are the
table olive varieties and oil olives like corrotina, frontoio and lechinno.
I get most of my freshly picked olives from an organically run farm near Worcester
and cure them in salt water. No lye or preservatives are used. This process
involves several changes of brine at two month intervals and takes up to 10
months during which the olives undergo natural lactic acid fermentation, lose
their bitterness and become edible. This process needs to be monitored very
carefully to ensure a good product. The result of all this time invested, is
a good firm olive with a fantastic taste. With a keen interest in food and
always trying out new recipes, olives do not fail to amaze me with their versatility
every time.

Biodiversity
and Wine Initiative |
The biodiversity and Wine Initiative is a unique
partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation
sector established to conserve
the floral splendour of the Cape Winelands, whilst developing this regions’ natural
treasure as a unique selling point into Brand South Africa.
BWI aims to minimize the loss of threatened natural
habitat as well as contribute to the sustainable wine production
through better land management practices on the farm. SA wine producers
have been quick to take action and, through the BWI, have committed
to restoring and protecting our Cape Floral Kingdom. Together these
members have set aside more hectares for long term conservation than
is currently under grape production.

I believe that everyone has a specific destiny set aside
for them and I am grateful that clay chose me to shape it. In clay I am able
to express myself, share myself, find myself.
"To find reality in one's work, to project honesty into it, is to become
centered. For better or worse, the pot becomes the projection of the potter,
his image. In it are summed up the integration of his power, his thoughts,
his feelings, his action. Pottery form is an emblem of this integration, and
we must
avoid thinking about the form of pots as if it were something impersonal. Forms
grow from the person. That is why it is impossible to assign any hierarchy
of this value to pots or to impose standards aside from the equation person =
pots"
