West Country Olives

In 2020 we launched our Sister Company ‘West Country Olives’ producing our own olive range using authentic Greek olives but with a local twist blending with local ingredients. 

Bell and Loxton rapeseed oil was the first local ingredient we used with our olive recipes, and now a vital part in most of the blends. 

We are so pleased to support Jonathan and Rachel by using their rapeseed oil and supporting these fantastic small local producers.
