We set up Alivu to bring our Extra Virgin Olive Oil from our family olives in Sicily to the UK. Now we are ready to release our delicious oil on you Brits.

Archaeologists and qualified oil tasters, we are obsessed with telling our oil's story, and that of all the small oil producers in the Mediterranean. Paolo and I have been bragging about his family's organic extra virgin Olive Oil for years. We spent some time in Sicily in 2014-15, getting to know the ropes, and planting a new grove. Are you ready for a treat?

It’s so hot you may as well dance the tarantella. A quick check on our groves which happily have escaped damage from summer hail storms and fires. A fair smattering of olives. We feel lucky.

Sunset from **ery where we went to try Sicily’s first sparkling w**e. After a very active month, Etna is finally resting. Team Alivu has also had a good break but we’re on our way home to Wiltshire so if you need some oil let us know.

Proper treat last night heading to Citizens of Soil’s press night launching this new book “Drizzle” on EV olive oil. With recipes from around the Mediterranean, pairing suggestions and a useful guide to EVOO at the start. Although we aren’t part of Sarah’s growing network of female led regenerative oil producers (we’re too small) I feel very much part of her community and am grateful to her for shifting the culture of EVOO in the UK.

Last night was also the launch of her pop-up Olive Oil Bar. Uber trendy but earthy too. I met many other oil producers who feature in her book; Maria - Sarah’s original producer and inspiration and the wonderful founders of Heather and Baba

So head to Monmouth St near Covent Garden during June to try some fantastic oils and pick up a copy of her book “Drizzle” published by

Let us know if you try our family recipe (although I think .piccione made me my first ever polpette di melanzane in Rome. Yum. Grazie Palei tvb)

What’s it like to taste over 100 oils in 3 days? Quite quiet actually with occasional laughter (hard not to when sharing a table with Claudio) and lots to learn from both table members.

Hear I filmed us tasting three different oils - so three different reactions - only one medal.

What did we decide? Judges stay quiet the first few seconds after a taste adding their scores to the judging platform - but sometimes the reactions are obvious.

The first two received no medals - listen closely and you’ll find out why. The third oil had no defects and all three qualities but didn’t sing.

Come and see us at The Market Cross! Sadly we won’t be at South Cerney tomorrow.
