Flamingo Estate
Flamingo Estate is a family run olive oil producer led by fourth generation farmer Philip Asquith. The estate harvests olives by hand from ancient 150-year-old trees and presses them immediately to retain freshness and high polyphenol levels. Their Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil is marketed as a sensory rich, unpretentious product that aims to nurture the soul as well as the palate. The company emphasises simple, sustainable farming practices and offers free shipping on orders over £150.
The olive oil is a single-estate, organic, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil made from a blend of four Italian varieties—Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, and Arbequina—alongside rare Hojiblanca olives from Andalusia, Spain. The estate's mission olive oil has won around 40 awards at prestigious competitions over the years.
Their innovative Flavorlock box packaging shields the oil from light, air, and heat, preserving its just-pressed vibrancy. The oil has gained a cult following among celebrity chefs, with Martha Stewart famously stating it is the only olive oil she uses at home. It is used by renowned restaurants across the United States, including Don Angie in New York City and Tony's Pizza in San Francisco, as well as 2025 James Beard Award nominees.
In addition to their core Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Flamingo Estate offers an Olive Oil Trio (Flavor Triptych) featuring three oils that capture the full spectrum of taste—from bright and green to rich and savory, floral to fiery. The 2025 Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pressed from the year's Great Harvest, prized for its vivid hue, high polyphenols, and peppery clarity. The company also produces a range of botanical products including hand-poured candles, and has collaborated with designer Gaetano Pesce on limited edition olive oil releases.
