About us

 

The seedling for Saint Rosalia was planted on a month long Tour De Gluttony in Sicily, 2017.

 

Staying on a farm near Palermo with its own olive grove, each night we'd eat locally grown, simple food. On the table was always a bottle of their own freshly-made olive oil. The dishes were humble - plates of seasonal vegetables - but when doused in this amazing olive oil they were elevated to a new level.

 

I was in love. I never thought olive oil could be the star ingredient in a meal! Our host said this is why they eat so many vegetables, because the olive oil is so good.

 

I had a bit of a dream to travel the Med and bring back proper olive oil to Britain, made by small-scale producers. It took me 3 years to pluck up the courage to do it, but here I am!

 

We work with different small producers every batch (every 3-6 months) in an effort to share their own unique oil with a wider audience (most don’t sell beyond their local province) and showcase how diverse oils from different regions can be!

 

Our latest batch is from the Greek Peloponnese. Produced by Pavlos in November 2023.
