Live More And Eat Very Happily
Statement & Credo. We sold everything we owned to travel the Med and beyond to find the recipes, techniques and traditions that launched Olives Et Al 25 years ago. Inspired by doing things differently we’re still creating, sourcing and supplying genuinely natural and authentic foods and ingredients that aim to tread gently on the planet so we can all live more and eat without guilt.

Disturb The Sound Of Silence
The radio was on and I wasn’t really listening until a cover version of Simon and Garfunkel’s 1960’s classic, The Sound of Silence, came on and, being completely different to the original, carved its way into my consciousness.
Original Plagiarism. Who said it first?
Language really is a many-splendoured thing – full of marvel and magnificence. Recently, I’ve been marvelling at the magnificence of the rules and regulations surrounding the use of certain words like “Fresh”, “Natural”, “Traditional”, “Original”, “Authentic”, “Real” and “Genuine” not to mention, “Home made”, “Farmhouse”, “Hand-made” and a number of others.
The Road to Damascus
Late October 1992, early in the morning. Sun just up. We quietly rolled up to Bab al-Hawa, ‘Gate of The Winds’,. We were crossing from Turkey into Syria. There was a definite chill in the air as we were led past queues of waiting lorries by the brown leather jacketed “Tourist Police”.
Recipes
Moroccan Quinoa Salad
A favourite one from our delis – we make this most weeks – it’s simple, tasty and very popular.
Socca Flatbread with Pesto
Socca is a gluten free, vegan friendly flatbread that’s dead simple to make and even wheat heads and carnivores like it.
Chargrilled Vegetables
Quick and simple side or main dish – perfect for BBQs or lazy Sunday lunch.
