⭐The judges were really impressed by these shiny, plump olives…There was good ripeness and a lovely aroma of fresh orange when opening the jar…The texture of the olives was excellent; really silky, yet meaty…The balance of salt was good and the judges really enjoyed the combination of orange, bay and fennel…They also praised the freshness and quality of the oil used…
⭐The orange notes are very apparent and together with the lemon, offer a brightness on the tongue…Texturally, these have a pleasing resistance to the bite…They have a clean, fresh orange flavour on a lingering finish…
⭐1-star⭐ Kalamata Olives with Lemon & Herbs
⭐Attractively plump, juicy olives with a great colour and shine…The judges really enjoyed the satisfyingly meaty texture of the olives which really set them apart…

⭐1-star⭐ Wild Thyme Honey
⭐A very inviting honey with a rich amber colour and great viscosity….a deliciously mouth-coating texture…
⭐A delicious greek honey full of charm…We loved the buttery texture and rich body…The notes of caramel and citrus are so full…We enjoyed this so much and judges believe it would be quite versatile…
⭐1-star⭐ Pistachios – Roasted & Slightly Salted
⭐The pinky-green colouring of the shell is typical of Aegina pistachios. The pink colouring extends to the nuts themselves, which is an attractive trait. They have a satisfying bite and texture, and no hint of sogginess…The saltiness is subtle, but present…There is a delicate, roasted nutty flavour which offers buttery notes on a lingering finish…There is also a hint of creamy nuttiness on the palate…
⭐These have good creaminess and a subtle saltiness that does not overpower the flavour of the nuts…Evenly roasted and very attractive to look at…These are a great tasting pistachio…
