✨ LIQUID GOLD FROM ITALY HAS ARRIVED! 🫒🇮🇹

No Italian kitchen is complete without a truly exceptional bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil—and we take our EVOO very seriously at The Bottega!

Whether you’re drizzling it over a fresh Caprese salad, finishing a warm bowl of pasta, dipping fresh crusty bread, or using it as the base for your homemade pizza sauces, authentic Italian olive oil makes all the difference.

Harvested and pressed from the finest Italian olives, our collection brings pure, rich flavor, vibrant aroma, and uncompromised quality straight to your table.

✨ Bottega Tip: Always look for cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil for maximum flavor and health benefits—and yes, we’ve got the very best stocked on our shelves in both Billericay and Scott’s of Southend!

Stop by this week to grab a bottle (or two) and elevate your home cooking! 🥖🍷

What a weekend! 🥂✨

Our very first weekend at Scott's of Southend Garden Centre was an absolute dream, and our hearts are totally full! ❤️

A massive, heartfelt thank you to Scott himself - pictured here with us - for welcoming The Bottega into the food hall and giving us this fantastic opportunity to grow. 🤝🇮🇹

To every single person who stopped by: thank you! 🙏 We were blown away by the warm welcome from the Southend community, and we were so touched to see so many familiar faces from Billericay who traveled over to support our second venture. You truly make all the hard work behind the scenes worth it.

We are sure that this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey together, and if you didn’t get a chance to visit us this weekend, come by this week for your favorite Italian essentials, pizza ingredients, coffee, and Sicilian cannoli! ☕🥐🍕
