gifting olives
|
Searching for a gift for an olive lover? Zejd's souri olives taste very different from European olive varieties.

One of our olive loving customers described Zejd's black souri olives as "meaty and moreish". "Creamy" is how another described Zejd's souri green cracked olives.

|
We're very proud to be the only importer of Zejd's olives to the UK.
