Om oor een van die beste olfyfolies in die land te skryf, is een ding, maar om die geskiedenis van die plaas en sy werking te beleef, is heeltemal iets anders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anysbos in die Botrivier-distrik \u00eds iets om te beleef. \u2019n Mens kan sien op hierdie plaas word gewerk, en met passie. Hul passie en harde werk is onlangs by die SA Olive Awards beloon toe hulle \u2019n goue en \u2019n silwermedalje gewen het. Altesaam 82 inskrywings is ontvang. Die prysuitdeling is op 8 September in die Paarl gehou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard Allen, die voorsitter van die Suid-Afrikaanse olyfbedryf, het die volgende oor die wenners ges\u00ea: \u201cDit was \u2019n baie uitdagende jaar weens die slegte oes.\u201d Hy het beklemtoon dit was \u2019n w\u00eareldwye neiging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnder daaglikse uitdagings soos beurtkrag en die weer het ook \u2019n groot rol gespeel, maar steeds het ons vervaardigers van die beste olyfolies geproduseer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan Heyns, die eienaar van Anysbos, kan bevestig dit is \u2019n uitdagende jaar, maar skerts: \u201cDis maar boerdery . . . en die wind en weer in hierdie omgewing speel \u2019n groot rol, want te veel wind is glad nie goed vir die olyfbome nie. Hierdie is eintlik beter wynw\u00eareld.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heyns het die plaas in 2007 as \u2019n aftreeplek gekoop, min wetende dat dit hom n\u00e1 14 jaar so besig gaan hou dat hy nie tyd sal h\u00ea om rustig agteroor te sit en te ontspan nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToe ons hier aankom, was hier niks, en nou pronk ons met wingerde, olywe en selfs toggenburgers, \u2019n bok van Switserland, waarvan ons die melk gebruik om die heerlikste kaas te maak,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die naam van die plaas het ook nie saam met die registrasie gekom nie en die plaas is deur Heyns self \u201cgedoop\u201d. \u201cDie plaas het net \u2019n nommer gehad en ek het net geweet die naam moet met \u2019n A begin. In hierdie omgewing kom die Agathosma cerefolium<\/i>, of die anys-boegoe, voor en ek het die plaas toe Anysbos genoem. Die spesie is uniek in die omgewing en as jy die blare tussen jou vingers vryf, kan jy duidelik die anys ruik,\u201d vertel Heyns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ry jy deur die plaas, kom jy dadelik agter waarom Heyns en sy vrou op di\u00e9 stukkie grond eerder as in die Vrystaat besluit het \u2013 water loop vrylik deur die plaas, met \u2019n paar damme en groen heuwels wat \u2019n mens verwelkom. \u201cMy kop het Vrystaat toe gestaan, maar my vrou het ges\u00ea sy wil nie daar aftree nie. My broer, wat Gabri\u00eblskloof besit en nou my buurman is, het my oor die stuk grond ingelig, en ons het dit van die grond af opgebou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afgesien van die plant van die verskillende olyfbome, die pars daarvan en die kelder vir die wenwyne, is dit die toggenburgers wat jou hart steel. Die bokke met hul kenmerkende kleur en smaaklike melk is duidelik Heyns se liefde. \u201cDie bokke hou \u2019n mens besig, maar dis baie bevredigend. Ons maak kaas van die melk \u2013 dit het \u2019n baie unieke smaak. Ons kaasmaker het \u2019n passie vir wat sy doen. Sy het begin om in die huis as huishulp te werk, maar haar belangstelling in resepte het daartoe gelei dat ons haar Frankryk toe gestuur het om haar as \u2019n kaasmaker op te lei. Vandag is sy \u2019n gesoute kaasmaker en sy weet wat sy doen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wyne, nes die olyfolie van Anysbos is van die beste gehalte en hul wynmaker, Marelise Niemann, is as jong wynmaker van die jaar aangewys. \u201cEk hou daarvan om in Botrivier te werk \u2013 dit voel soos \u2019n klein plaasgemeenskap waar niks aansitterig is nie. Ek hou ook baie van die oop ruimtes en die mense hier het soveel persoonlikheid,\u201d het di\u00e9 inwoner van Onrus onlangs op Wines of South Africa se blog ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die proelokaal is net soos die res van die geboue uniek en eie aan die plaas. Die balke asook die tafel se hout kom van die plaas af, en met sy plaasgevoel gaan die wynproe iets besonders wees, maar Heyns waarsku: \u201cOns proelokaal is net op afspraak oop, en ons olyfolie en kaas is by verskeie padstalle en winkels in die Overberg en selfs in Somerset-Wes te koop. Belangstellendes kan selfs aanlyn olyfolie koop.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
