Olives Et Al Nocellara del Belice Olives — Sicilian Olives in Brine
Olives Et Al Nocellara del Belice Olives are the classic Sicilian olive — buttery, creamy and sweetly firm. Sat in a light brine in a 250g jar, these are the kind of olives you eat straight from the jar with zero guilt, toss into a salad, or drop into a Martini. Described as ""the best olives in the UK"" by The Observer, which is a decent endorsement.
Buttery, creamy and properly good
Nocellara del Belice is widely considered one of the finest olive varieties in the world, and there's a reason. These are plump, firm and beautifully green with a buttery richness that makes supermarket olives feel like a different food entirely. The light brine keeps them fresh without overpowering the natural flavour. They're gorgeous on their own, on an antipasti board, in a crisp salad, or tossed into pasta at the last second.
The olive that looks as good as it tastes
These are visually stunning olives — a vivid Granny Smith green that looks brilliant in a bowl on the table. If you care about how your food looks (and at Natty, we definitely do), these earn their spot on any spread. They're the kind of olive that makes people ask where you got them.
From people who know olives
Olives Et Al has been sourcing and curating olives for over 30 years. This isn't a supermarket brand slapping a label on a jar — it's a company that was literally built on a motorcycle trip through the Mediterranean, run by people who've dedicated their careers to finding the best olives on the planet. When the press says they sell the UK's best olives, it's hard to argue.
About Olives Et Al
Founded in 1993 by Giles and Annie Henschel, Olives Et Al grew from a Dorset bedsit into a 30-year-old, award-winning food company supplying over 2,500 outlets. It started with a motorcycle, a Mediterranean road trip and a collection of recipes gathered from olive farmers, and it's stayed true to that spirit — genuine ingredients, proper craft, no artificial shortcuts. The range now spans olives, kiln-roasted nuts, snacks, dressings and condiments.
Olives Et Al is one of those brands where everything they make is worth trying. See the full Olives Et Al range at Natty.

What to do with Nocellara olives
Eat them straight from the jar — that's the best way. But they also work brilliantly on an antipasti board with some cured meats and bread, in a simple green salad, tossed through spaghetti with tomato sauce, or (a personal favourite) dropped into a proper Martini. Pair the antipasti spread with a bottle from our white wine collection and some Glug Drizzling Oil for bread dipping.
