Back in the autumn of 1984, Charles Carey sold his farm in Cornwall to set out on a new career... he drove out to Tuscany to search out an olive oil producer, and returned with as many cases as he could squeeze into the boot.

Producers
From our first supplier in Tuscany, our range has slowly expanded to encompass oils and vinegars from across Europe (and one from South Africa). We work mostly with small, family-run producers, some of whom we have known for over 30 years.
