The Black Olive Delicatessen

We knew we’d made a lot of salad this summer. We hadn’t quite realised how much…

Altogether, you ate just over three tonnes of Black Olive salad, more than the weight of an average adult female Asian elephant. 🐘. To be clear that’s almost exactly five classic Minis 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘

That’s an extraordinary amount of chopping, mixing and dressing. A heroic effort from our team and from all of you eating it!

Which Black Olive salad was your star of summer 2026?

Sunday roast. Nice piece of pork. Ottolenghi Smokey Honey Marinade.

And then Henry got the blowtorch out. 🔥😂

Possibly not strictly necessary. But look at that caramelisation… 👀

Friday night dinner inspiration 💚

The temperature’s dropped, the oven’s back on, and suddenly a big roasted cauliflower feels exactly right.

Roasted whole until properly charred at the edges, then piled onto tahini yoghurt and finished with salsa verde.

Not one we sell at the deli, just what we’re eating at home tonight, using the sort of flavours and ingredients we love at Black Olive.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best.

🍂 Autumn starts with a really good pie…

The Original Baker’s Slow Roast Pork & Cider Pie is packed with tender pork in a rich, creamy cider sauce, all wrapped up in beautifully golden pastry.

Proper comforting food for cooler days and a Great Taste award winner too. Just add mash, greens and gravy… or eat it exactly as it is. We won’t judge.

Available now at Black Olive 🫒

They’ve arrived! 🐟

Our beautiful new FANGST range has landed at Black Olive, Nordic tinned seafood with some seriously interesting flavours.

We’ve got wood-smoked blue mussels, mussels with dill & fennel, smoked sprats with heather & chamomile, salmon with sea buckthorn & lemon verbena, trout with juniper & lemon thyme, wood-smoked herring with wild garlic… and the rather intriguing Icelandic cod liver.

Beautifully made, beautifully packaged and definitely not your average tin of fish.

FANGST is on the shelves now at Black Olive.

Now the difficult bit: which one to open first? 👀
