Just like you, we love to travel, and that inspired us to create some of the lovely foods we found as a reminder of warmer places.
So, stroll around, make yourself at home and discover our hidden treasures of properly prepared olives, freshly roasted nuts, snacks, dressings and sauces all inspired by our travels around the Mediterranean, Levant and North Africa.
We’d really love to keep in touch and invite you to be part of our Tasting Club so if that sounds like the sort of thing you'd like too just go here.
Hope you enjoy what you find...

DELI OF THE YEAR
Click me for the big picture...Olives Et Al are searching for the Deli Of The Year and so far we have hundreds of Deli entrants. We want the best Deli outlets in Britain to be up for the award -it’s not limited to high street delis or farm shops – it can be a post office or village shop with a deli counter or a corner shop that gives their customers what they need – whatever that takes.
The best bit? Everyone stands a chance of winning a great trip to Spain as a prize… We'll be taking the top Deli to an Olive harvest in Spain and we're entering all voters into a prize draw so that they too can be in with a chance to win a nice trip somewhere sunny!
Anyone can nominate or vote for a deli, so why not visit us at www.delioftheyear.co.uk or email us for more information?
THE POTTING SHED CELEBRATES
The Potting Shed, our Olives Et Al shop and cafe based in Poundbury, celebrated their 1st birthday on Saturday 20th February by hosting free tasting sessions and activities and events for children and adults alike! Our sales team headed down there to offer a helping hand, wearing a lot of purple (it was still Purple Love Week after all)! Of course, the proof is in the pudding so check out the photos from Saturday here.
