Olive Oil

If you're already eating organic, you already know about all the great benefits. Organic farmers avoid the routine use of pesticides and grow their crops in ways that are better for the environment. Our olive oil comes from a co-operative in Southern Italy through our Community Trade program and is a natural velvety moisturizer for normal to dry skin.

Organic olive oil from Italy
The moisturizing olive oil in our products comes from an area in Italy that has produced olives since the middle ages. The Nuovo Cilento Co-operative formed as a result of people abandoning the land to seek work elsewhere. In a remarkable story of success over adversity, the co-operative has gone from strength to strength, cutting out the middle man to sell their organically produced olive oil directly, maximizing their profit and so preserving their traditional way of life. Every product you buy containing Community Traded olive oil further helps the community and local environment.
