Olives
For the past 30 years, we’ve been working closely with our olive producers to offer the broadest selection of the best olives from across the Mediterranean basin.
All of our olives, from the buttery green Sicilian Nocellara del Belice to the fruity purple Kalamata from Greece, are naturally ripened and unpasteurised to give the best possible texture and flavour. We hand mix fresh olives in small batches, bringing together the best varieties and ingredients to create our popular signature mixes.
