Meet the Sarullo family

These passionate producers have been cultivating olives in this region for four generations, bringing together culture and flavour to create something that lasts the test of time. After how much our Club loved their Sicilian oil last year, we knew we had to bring you another. This time, we’re journeying to new producers and a new region: Agrigento. Harvest throughout Italy was incredibly hard last year, and Sicily was no exception. Heavy rainfall paired with extreme drought meant many trees ...

Caramelised courgette orzo with burrata

Sweet, seasonal courgettes are sautéed in EVOO for caramelised deliciousness, and smooth, creamy burrata and mint leaves add a touch of freshness to this summer orzo.

Some will meditate, some will start learning a new skill and others… will start taking a spoonful of olive oil in the morning! This oil “trend” started to emerge quite recently with celebs swearing by it.
