  • Happy World Olive Day! 🫒 At The Compleat Food Group, we're proud to be the UK's number one provider of pre-packed chilled olives and antipasti, working closely with high-quality growers from around the world. 🫒 Since 2007, we've partnered with our trusted Spanish agricultural partners who are pushing the boundaries of sustainable olive farming around the world. Using innovations like water-saving technology, solar panels, and biomass boilers powered by olive pits, they've built a circular energy system that protects biodiversity and leaves no waste behind. 🌳But it's not just about production! Every olive tree is monitored for health, with customer irrigation to minimise water use. And with QR codes on each tree, we ensure full transparency from farm to fork. 🌿An 80-point quality check guarantees every batch of olives is as delicious as it is sustainable. Making them sustainably grown and expertly crafted! #WorldOliveDay #FoodToFeelGood #TheCompleatFoodGroup #Sustainability
