Featured products

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cold-pressed from hand-picked olives at peak ripeness, our Extra Virgin Olive Oil captures the true essence of the fruit. With a harmonious balance of fruitiness, subtle peppery notes, and a smooth, lingering finish, it elevates every dish, from simple salads to gourmet creations.

Kalamata Olives In Brine

Our Kalamata olives are plump, almond-shaped, and deep purple, offering a smooth, fleshy texture and a rich, meaty flavour. Hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, they are carefully cured in natural brine to enhance their flavour while preserving their authentic character.

Tapenade

A unique vegetarian Mediterranean spread crafted from finely chopped olives, capers, and high-quality olive oil. Bursting with robust flavours, it is perfect for spreading on artisan bread, enhancing canapés, or adding a gourmet touch to salads, pasta, and roasted vegetables.
