Lions Creek is a Canadian brand that specializes in premium extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Their flagship store is located in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The company sources its olive oil from the Karoo region in South Africa, specifically from the village of Leeu Gamka, situated at the confluence of the Leeu and Gamka rivers. These rivers, both named "lion" in Afrikaans and Khoisan respectively, inspire the brand's name and symbolize strength and heritage. The olive oils are made from premium cultivars such as Coratina, Frantoio, Barnea, Koroneika, Abequina, and Favolosa, and are cold-extracted to preserve their superior fruity and fresh olive taste.
In addition to olive oils, Lions Creek offers balsamic vinegars imported from Modena, Italy, produced by a family business renowned over three generations. These vinegars are made from Trebbiano grapes, carefully fermented and aged in wooden casks to achieve a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.
Lions Creek's deep connection to South Africa is evident in its sourcing of olive oil from the Karoo region. The company's commitment to quality and tradition reflects the rich agricultural heritage of South Africa. By bringing these authentic products to Canada, Lions Creek offers consumers a taste of South African excellence, bridging cultures through culinary experiences.
