I have resupplied Ash at SG Fruit and Veg with Stroud Green Olive Oil. These are nearly the last bottles available, I have almost sold out since November (100 litres) and will have to seek new supplies.
I had been reconsidering the future of SGOO as on doing the sums I found I made a stonking great loss first time round, however that was mainly due to the inept business plan and massively unsustainable transport costs.
But I've found an affordable way of getting the stuff from Italy to Stroud Green now, so if I can source supplies of a similar quality (this will be from neighbouring smallholdings) I will aim to restock with more oil in May.
I will probably change the price structure and use bigger bottles too, maybe an over-the-counter bring-your-own bottle lark at one of the local grocers. Some tastings too.
I can see this will never be more than a hobby and a barmy enthusiasm but at least it will cover the costs and pay for itself, and continue to put SG on the culinary map..... Apologies if there is an interruption in supplies towards the end of the month...
More rave reviews for Abruzzo (twinned with SG Road) on TripAdvisor too!
