From ancient groves of Southern spain to your kitchen

Olive oil is one of the oldest ingredients in the kitchen, and one of the most worth getting right. Ours comes from ancient groves in Southern Spain, where olive growing has shaped the landscape and local food culture for generations.

The olives are harvested during the daytime rather than at night, helping to avoid disturbing nesting wildlife - a thoughtful choice that reflects the care behind every bottle. From there, the process stays simple. The olives are cold-pressed and physically filtered without hexanes, solvents or added chemicals. Nothing blended in and nothing unnecessary added. Just one organic, recognisable ingredient, minimally processed to preserve its fresh, mild character, with delicate notes of olive leaf and apple.

For anyone looking beyond the ultra-processed seed oils found in so many everyday foods, it’s a beautifully simple choice: organic, extra virgin olive oil, made with care and rooted in traditional food culture.It’s bottled in recyclable dark glass to help protect the oil from light and oxidation, then it’s over to you.

Drizzle generously over roasted vegetables, whisk into dressings, pour into a bowl for dipping or finish a dish just before it reaches the table.

From a problem everyone had but nobody solved

Hunter & Gather began in 2017 with Amy and Jeff and a belief that everyday food could be made better. Amy grew up coeliac, reading every label and cooking from scratch from an early age. Jeff came to real food through his own journey with diet, lifestyle and supplementation. Different beginnings, but the same belief: food should be made from things your body recognises.

Real ingredients, chosen with purpose, without compromising on taste. It started with a jar of mayonnaise. Today, that same thinking goes into everything we make.

Customer Reviews

What does organic extra virgin olive oil mean?

Extra virgin is the highest grade of olive oil, extracted by mechanical means alone without heat or chemicals. Organic certification covers how the olives are grown. Together they mean the oil is unrefined, unblended, and made from fruit grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.

What does it taste like?

Fresh, mild and beautifully balanced. It brings richness and character to simple food without overpowering it, which is what makes it easy to use every day rather than saving for occasions. It has more presence than our avocado oil.

Is Hunter & Gather Olive Oil high in monounsaturated fat?

Yes. There is 76g of monounsaturated fat per 100ml, which is around three quarters of the total fat content. The oil contains one organic ingredient and nothing else, with no carbohydrate, sugar, protein or salt.

How long does olive oil last once opened?

Use it within three to six months for the best flavour. Air is what gradually turns any olive oil rancid, so keep the cap closed tightly between uses. The dark glass bottle helps by protecting the oil from light while it sits on your worktop.

Can I cook with extra virgin olive oil?

Yes, for gentle and moderate cooking. It is at its best used raw or added near the end, where the flavour comes through properly. For high-heat frying, searing and roasting, our avocado oil is the better choice at 255°C.
