Olly’s Olives are a London-based start-up who produce the best quality olives, in the tastiest flavours possible. Founder Olly Hiscocks is a lifelong olive fanatic who grew tired of poor quality snacks, so much so that he turned down Medical School in order to lead the olive-lution! After a year of research and tasting, Olly decided to source his jumbo green olives from Halkidiki, Greece, testing all along the way on his foodie guinea pigs at Richmond’s Duck Pond Market. Seeing his customers’ reactions to his succulent olives and innovative flavours, Olly knew he had to bring his salty snacks to the whole of the country. Did you know that most olives are pasteurised? Key to the taste and texture of Olly’s Olives is the fact that they are not pasteurised, boosting their flavour, consistency and nutritional content. Olly decided it was time for a change: all the flavour, no unnecessary behaviour! The naturally vegan and gluten free range (all under 95cals per packet) is topped off with mouth-watering marinades, packaged in handy pouches with no stones, no messy oils and no artificial preservatives. The selection includes Chilli + Rosemary, Lemon + Thyme and Basil + Garlic (RRP £1.50 per 50g pouch), available nationally via Ocado and Olly’s online store, as well as in BP and Selfridges; they’re ideal for your travels, available on Virgin Trains and the Eurostar and for topping up your thirst at a host of pubs, bars and hotels including Brewdog and Craft Beer Co.
