The Olive Oil Co

Originally from Puglia (south Italy) a region with 60 millions olive trees and that accounts for almost 50% of the entire Italian production of Olive Oil it is easy to understand how I found myself involved with Olive Oil being this our main agricultural resource.

The Olive Oil Co was founded in 2001, few years after I decided to move over to London. I missed my life ingredient so much (back then you could not really find good Extra Virgin olive Oil in the Uk) that I started importing it for my own use until most of the friends around me ask me for a bottle.

Before long I decided to open a retail stall in London’s Borough Market in 2001 and from there it has been a continuous growth by supplying the top Olive Oil selection to restaurants and deli in the UK.
