Charlie and Kieran have been out and about again recently visiting some more amazing people, this time getting on their bikes for the day.
First stop, a visit to Wookey Farm to meet Sarah Davies, local goat farmer and award-winning cheese maker. After spending a great afternoon chatting with Sarah, getting to know the goats and how to make real cheese, they set off for a well earned pint! Cycling on to Wilkins Cider Farm, a hidden gem of a place making real Somerset cider for over 100 years. The guys also got to meet the legendary Roger Wilkins and talk about his characterful take on the proper way to make cider. So, pour yourself a little tipple, grab a pot of olives and have a listen to their latest antics!

Welcome to our first ever ‘Real Big Olive Podcast and our hosts, Kieran and Charlie.

A pounding headache. An achy knee. Arthritic knuckles. A fever. That little packet of painkillers we keep around is so much more handy than going out and picking mandrake or henbane, like people had to do in the Middle Ages.

You reach for a succulent green olive, flecked with aromatic herbs and loaded with taste. Your thumb and finger close around it and your arm takes the olive to its final destination – your open mouth.
