The Real Olive Company

In the sun-drenched groves of Greece and Italy, France and Spain, under the azure skies of the Mediterranean, our olives ripen slowly through the long summer months. Real people grow our olives, artisan farmers who understand the unhurried rhythms of the olive tree. In late September, when the fruit is still fresh and green, they collect the first harvest, and in early December the dark, fully ripe olives are carefully gathered in. Following time-honoured methods, our olives mature naturally in brine before being shipped to Bristol, where they are water cured and marinated using one of our unique recipes. To bring out the delicate natural flavours of our olives we use extra-vigin olive oil and cold pressed sunflower oil in our marinades, along with aromatic herbs and spices. These are real olives, for real people. Enjoy!
