The Fresh Olive Company

Don’t go to that other olive stall! Seriously, just walk right past it… The olives to be had at here are fresher, more flavourful, and sampled more sanitarily (has it never bothered anyone else that at Borough Olives you’re supposed to just grab your sample from that overflowing wooden scoop that goes right back into the barrel of olives you’d be purchasing? All I see there are copious amounts of manhandled olives blighted by questionable fingerprints… Eww.)
But buying olives at The Fresh Olive Company is different — it feels special. I can’t walk past the place without succumbing to their friendly offer «care to try an olive?» before I’m being handed a toothpick and have to face making some seriously tough decisions — Chili stuffed? Hot and garlicky Melangano? Sweetly spiced black olives from Marrakesh? Oy… I can’t even begin to tell you my favourite… I think it’s all just dependent on my mood since it seems I always walk away with a little container of something different — but the meaty and exotic quality of each variety has never failed to disappoint — these are for bona fide olive lovers.
Also, be sure to make a point of trying their rose harissa… it sounds understated, but it will knock your socks off.
