Seeking Specific Olive Oil in London


Recommended Posts

A man in London who either sells engine oil or tea...but sells wonderful Olive Oil aswell? Where is this again?

There is place in London it is a tiny little shop and either sells Motor/Engine Oil or Tea (I cant remember) but he also sells magic Olive Oil apparently. I remember reading it either online or in a paper of some sort. Heading to London this coming weekend so desperate trying to find out where this is before I get there! Any clues no matter how small would be appreciated!

20. Best place to buy: Olive oil

The most unlikely olive oil vendor in the world? At his electrical supply shop in London's Clerkenwell, Mehmet Murat sells wonderful, intensely fruity oil from his family's olive groves in Cyprus and south-west Turkey. Now he imports more than a 1,000 litres per year. His lemon-flavoured oil is good enough to drink on its own.
