restaurants & bakeries

From the earliest days of Honest Toil, we’ve been excited to collaborate with restaurants that share our vision of a humble, sustainable and seasonal cuisine for a healthier planet. Along the way, we’ve nurtured relationships built on close cooperation with chefs. We are proud to see both ends of the journey of our tiny koroneiki olives: from tree to table, we know the ins and outs of the whole process. This allows us to bring the immediacy and hospitality of Greek gastronomy directly to the restaurants we work with. Please get in touch if your restaurant would like to use Honest Toil.

We're super proud that Honest Toil is the oil of choice at...

here's what they say about working with Honest Toil...

  • "When I looked into Honest Toil as a company, I was impressed by the process from field to tin. What Tom and Juli are doing is important for the industry and their ethos is one that aligns with ours at Elliot's. It is important to know where the products you use come from and to work with people who are trying to make a difference."
    Matt Tarantini, Elliot's London
  • "It's incredible. The taste is amazing, I could honestly drink shots of it. Everything tastes better with honest toil, it's like gold to me."
    Kyle Canyon, The Dusty Knuckle
  • "At Bubala, we swear by Honest Toil. Its vibrant green peppery notes add depth to our dishes, and being unfiltered, it retains its natural goodness and body. We love the convenience of their 20L containers, which we happily return for sustainability. Bubala and Honest Toil – a great match for flavour, quality and values."
    Ben Rand, Bubala
  • "Its superb flavour enhances our creations with a fresh, clean taste that is unmistakably pure. More importantly, it reflects our commitment to supporting environmentally responsible producers who prioritise quality and ethical practices."
    Derri Read, The Ethical Chef
  • "Made the traditional way, unfiltered and with no embellishments, it is fresh bright and extremely expressive. Perfectly aligned with our ethos, which honours tradition and generosity, we pour it over pretty much everything with giddy abandon."
    Nick Bramham, Quality Wines
  • "I love using honest toil… it's my favourite olive oil to use.The balance of peppery-ness is perfect and it enhances every dish I make - Wouldn't consider any other oil! Perfect for both cooking and finishing dishes."
    Helen Graham
  • "Sourcing responsibly is at the heart of what we do and this ethos runs through every element of our kitchen. When we began our relationship with Honest Toil, it solved a big problem for us, as we are now able to source our oil without a third party, directly from the source." 
    Joseph Otway, Higher Ground

COOK WITH HONEST TOIL

food writers, chefs & more

We cherish the communality in eating that is so central to Greek food culture and is fostered by free-flowing fresh green olive oil, good company and an exchange of ideas. We've always wanted our oil to act as a catalyst for shared meals and experiences. That's why we've been working closely with some of our favourite chefs, recipe developers, food writers and creatives to bring you recipes, supper clubs, meal inspirations, etc. that match the spirit of sharing that is so central to Greek cuisine.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS

artists

As with every other part of the Honest Toil process, we believe that design should be collaborative and organic. We both have an art background (Juli worked in a gallery and Tom used to make films) and are all too familiar with the difficulties faced by artists today. Needless to say, we also really enjoy fiddling with design ideas, new labels, and photography. Unlike the dominant trend in the olive oil industry, we like to view the look of our bottles and cans as something playful and creative, potentially changing with seasons and harvests as wine labels do. 

So we’d like to say thanks to all these lovely people who have joined us on our design journey (the list is nowhere near comprehensive and we’ll keep adding artists as we work with them):
