Picnic Hamper – Summer Products – Olives et Al
So far it has been a fantastic, sunny summer. We’ve hit a bit of a wet spell in the last few days, but without speaking too soon, it’s been a great summer so far. Consequently, our picnic hampers have been in great demand, so we thought it would be a great idea to spotlight some of the products. Today’s focus is Olives et Al, the Dorset based maker of olives, snacks and much much more.
The inspiration for Olives et Al was a year long, international motorbike adventure by the soon-to-be-founders of the company. Annie and Giles Henschel travelled through the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa, falling in love with food and flavours along the way. Whilst on their travels they made sure they collected as many recipes as they could and, once back in the UK, proceeded to put their findings into practice. The results speak for themselves. Olives et Al source the finest available olives, nuts, seeds and oils to make delicious snacks following instructions which, in some instances, have been handed down through generations.
