BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR MILLENIA

Milenia Blog.jpg

Mediterranean countries have one thing in common which has spanned the ages and is still as popular today as ever – the sharing of food – in a big way! Countries which border this turquoise body of water have influenced international and domestic cuisine in a way that, just forty years ago could never have been imagined. Firstly the inclusion of simple (really) good ingredients to create basic but delicious dishes. Then there are the health benefits which Mediterranean foods can bestow when included in our everyday diet (olives were and still are considered to be the original superfood).  And last, but by no means least, is the idyllic (nay the only) way to enjoy food and that is together. From huge, days long wedding feasts to simple antipasti platters between a small group it’s all about sharing – this is no place for formality – this is a forum for eating, talking and the bringing together of ideas. We owe the style of picking, nibbling and grazing over a choice of tasty morsels to our olive producing cousins as it is one of the best ways to enjoy food and certainly the most sociable.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE REAL OLIVE COMPANY

The Real Olive Company was founded by Karin Andersson and Ben Flight, in Bristol, in 1998.

As producers of Mediterranean foods, specialising in fresh olives and deli products their mission was simple: ‘To make life taste better by connecting people to the natural vitality of Real Food’. This is why they strive to make a healthy choice taste great, by creating natural and sustainable food that can be enjoyed together, whilst nourishing mind, body and ‘soil’.

From grove to table, every step we take retains each olive’s natural goodness. After being hand-picked, we prepare, marinate and pack our olives using time-honoured recipes and cold-pressed oils so you can enjoy the freshest, most authentic olives bursting with Mediterranean sunshine. 

Staying true to our roots is at our very core; it’s about our relationships with our farmers and growers, about how we value and respect our hardworking team and how we understand and communicate with our customers.

Love Life – Eat Real.
