Founded in Bristol 25 years ago, The Real Olive Company is a family-run, artisan olive company, specialising in organic, fresh olives and antipasti.
Their olives are sourced from trusted artisan growers on the shores of the Mediterranean – real people who understand the unhurried rhythms of the olive tree!
After being hand-picked, the olives are marinated and packed using time-honoured recipes and cold-pressed oils.
Which means you can enjoy the freshest, most authentic olives bursting with Mediterranean sunshine.
From grove to table, every step is taken to retain each olive’s natural goodness, and they’re range is now available at Four Seasons.
Organic Nocellara del Belice
In the remote South West of Sicily lies the Valle del Belice, home to a unique pecorino (sheep’s milk) cheese and to a large green olive renowned for its succulent flesh and delicate flavour.
Nocellara del Belice olives are whole, unpitted and in cold-pressed oils, preserving that buttery flavour until you take your first bite.
Delicious served with a pecorino or similarly nutty, crumbly cheese, or simply enjoyed with a glass of ice cold white wine.

Organic Kalamata
On the ancient coast of southern Greece lies Kalamata, a city surrounded by olive groves since Classical times.
The olives grown there are unique, aubergine coloured, almond shaped and succulent. So good are they, in fact, that the name has been awarded European Protected Designation of Origin status.
As with Champagne in the wine world, only olives grown in that particular region are allowed to be called Kalamata.
The very best are organic, helping to preserve the old olive groves as sanctuaries for wildflowers, insects and birds..
