Who We Are & What We Do
The Olive Branch offers a unique and carefully
selected range of quality foods and gifts from all over the Mediterranean, most
of which is only available from smaller producers. In addition we process many
of our own real foods at home in our farmhouse using the finest quality ingredients.
Our goods are available at two weekly markets. We also supply
farm shops and restaurants and trade enquiries are welcome.
Why Mediterranean Foods are so Important!
Olives and olive oil have been grown and eaten
for thousands of years throughout the Mediterranean and research suggests the
Mediterranean diet, high in both olives and olive oil, limits the incidence of
cancer.
Olive oil is rich in vitamins A, D & E and contains antioxidants, which are thought
to be very important for your heart and in helping to retard the ageing process.
As olives and olive oil are low in cholesterol they are also a great choice for
those watching what they eat.
In short, there is a strong link between a long healthy life & olives, so enjoy
without guilt!
