Olive oil firm really cooking as turnover trebles to £100,000
By Jane Bradley,
A FORMER fund manager who set up her olive oil distribution business as a sideline while taking time off work to look after her baby son has seen business more than treble in a year.
Spanish-born Maria Cumming Panadero launched El Olivo two years ago to keep in touch with her homeland while running her own enterprise.
And the business, which she planned to keep as a part-time hobby while her son, James, was growing up, has rocketed – and Ms Cumming Panadero is now supplying oil to more than 300 delis across the UK, from Shetland and Orkney to Brighton, and is turning over £100,000 a year in wholesale and online sales.
While she originally meant to keep the firm as a small-scale, party plan-style enterprise, selling oil to food-lovers at private house parties, she has now had to give up that side of her work to concentrate on her booming wholesale market. She sources her award-winning oils from family-run farms in Spain and plans to double her turnover again in 2007.

Which Olive Oil to Choose?
There are so many different brands and varieties of olive oil on the store shelves.

There are three grades of olive oil generally available in North America — Extra-Virgin olive oil, Virgin olive oil, and just plain Olive Oil, with no other description. Each is distinguished by its processing technique, acidity and flavor.
