ABOUT OLIVEOLOGY

Organic Greek Grocery

OUR STORY

Sharing Greek culinary treasures

Back in 2009, we here at Oliveology set out to share Greek culinary treasures of the highest quality, flavour, and nutritional value with London and the wider UK.

We believe in supporting organic, sustainable farming practices that respect the land and conserve the naturally balanced ecosystem – for their conservationist value as much as for the quality of produce these methods create.

We also prize and nurture our relationships with small, independent and artisan producers whose produce we feel privileged to stock and proud to showcase. These phenomenal goods, that may otherwise only be accessible in tiny, local markets, are produced on a small scale in the traditional ways, with deep love and affection.

It’s these values, alongside our emphasis on superior quality, flavour and nutritional value, that have helped us curate an unbeatable array of premium products, befitting our place at the heart of London’s culinary quarter.

With decades of experience under our belt, we source world-class organic olive oil and unpasturised olives; organic vinegars and molasses; raw honey, wild herbs, nuts, dried fruit, and artisanal cheeses. The shop also hosts a delicious array of Greek pantry staples alongside specialty ingredients like Greek truffle products, sustainable olive wood gifts, and Greek wines and spirits.

OUR PRINCIPLES

We believe in

  • bringing you products of superior taste, quality and goodness
  • supporting organic, sustainable farming
  • conserving a naturally balanced ecosystem
  • loving and respecting the land
  • preserving traditional farming techniques
  • promoting healthy living
  • sharing the Greek culinary heritage and the art of home cooking

FARM TO TABLE

Olive oil & olives of exceptional quality

Our organic farm is located at the foot of the Taygetus mountains, in a small village near Sparta. In this area of the Peloponnese peninsula, olives have been cultivated for 3000 years. This ancient heritage has provided some of the best olive growing conditions in the world. Perfect elevation at 350m, rich soil and benevolent climatic conditions form an ideal combination for the cultivation of the olive tree. All the estate’s olive trees have been cultivated by hand to ensure the health of the tree for future production.

We have some more isolated alpine meadows at higher elevations that are put to rest. As the areas are undisturbed, wild flowers and aromatic herbs grow in abundance. Our hand collection methods do not disturb the wild flora and fauna. Some of these wild aromatic herbs, along with our vinegar are used in our delicious olive recipes.

Our farm is geared to creating olive oil, olives and other ingredients of exceptional quality. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do.

meet us at borough market & spa terminus

Borough Market

Oliveology started trading at Borough Market in 2010.

Borough market is one of the largest and oldest markets in the world, having been in continuous operation since 1014. Our humble beginnings took place at the glamorous Jubilee Market (Car Park)!

Three years later we finally moved into the beautiful renovated Three Crown Square section of Borough Market. We now trade amongst the beautiful art deco, green cast iron pillars. All the disruptions from Crossrail now seem worthwhile.

We take pride at being the first stall at Borough Market showcasing Greek produce. We also take pride to bring the first organic, unpasteurised Kalamata olives to the UK.

In March 2016 we moved into a permanent Stand in Three Crown Square. We now have the opportunity to showcase a wider variety of Greek speciality foods. Visit our new shop at Borough Market.

Spa Terminus

Our business premises are located in Spa Terminus, Bermondsey.

This is a converted Victorian Railway Arch (part of the old London and Greenwich railway line built in 1836).

Spa Terminus is a collaboration of like-minded food producers with high quality speciality produce and positive ethical practices.

The Bermondsey area has a rich history of food production and wholesaling. We are now a community of about 30 food businesses (link) trading a diverse range of specialist, regional produce from around the world. In addition to our weekday wholesale business, we open our Arch on Saturday mornings to our retail customers.
