I had been once a couple of years ago and was impressed then. Some of the stalls had changed but otherwise it seemed much the same. There were around 30 stalls including 3 cheese stalls one specialising in Cheddar from Somerset one with excellent and diverse goats cheeses from East Sussex and one with an array of cheeses from around the country which seems somewhat against the ethos of a farmers market a wet fish stall several fruit and veg stalls including some organic veg and lots of soft fruit including an array of plums and greengages homemade icecream and sorbet meat including Giggly Pig sausages made with traditional Saddleback pigs and a lamb stall international dishes of various kinds including Greek baklava borek and so on Moroccan...</description>

electrical oil
December 1st 2010
On my way to buy bread from the St. John today I discovered a very unusual olive oil vendor  
an electrical shop Embassy 
Electrical Supplies sells the family olive oil from Cyprus and Turkey in 
the electrical shop. Having looked up the shop on the internet as its so 
unusual Ive discovered that this olive oil is very highly rated. Murat du 
Carta and Chateau Carman are included in a review by the Guardian in its 50 best things to eat in the world and 
the Sunday Times to name just a few
Mehmet the owner of the electrical shop came to Britain in 1955. When his 
father died in 2002 he inherited 500 olive trees and started importing the 
family olive oil in 2004. The olive oil business is doing well and Mehmet has 
increased the size of his harvest by buying 45 acres of land in Turkey. The 
business is now importing more than 1000 litres of olive oil a year.

<description>Without the internet I would never have believed this male nirvana existed . 
Thanks to Mr Berners Lee I can confirm it does . Ive been and seen the future. 
Embassy electrical supplies sells 
shelves of plugs wires cable ties and sparky stuff . Embassy electrical 
supplies also sells the best olive oil in england  those anglo experts at the 
new york magazine say so  Who knows if its that good . All I can say is its 
the best Ive ever tasted. 

If 
I was boris Johnson Id make embassy a must visit for every tourist  it so sums 
up the diversity and mashed up logic of the city we love . It makes me proud to 
find such eclectic stores electric stores. </description>

<description>Weve all been there right. You know out of nowhere when youre all out of olive oil and twocore electrical cable. Well how about being able to satiate your needs for both in one hit. Yes folks not only do Embassy Electrical Supplies cater not surprisingly considering the company name for all your electrical needs an ever expanding zone of the shop is dedicated to their array of magnificent tantalising olive oil and other fine Mediterranean delicacies. If you have a few moments to spare allow me to tell you the story of how this welcome juxtaposition came to be. The affable owner a Mr. Mehmet Murat already had this EC1 business under his belt when he then seven years ago inherited the family olive groves in Cyprus  land that his family have toiled upon since the 1950s. With a touch of genius this remarkable gentleman swiftly combined the two and set about incorporating the oils and olives into what would otherwise have remained your everyday source of plugs bulbs and cables. What is most...</description>

In one corner next to the sockets and four ways stand two shelving units filled with bottles of olive oil jars of preserves and dried herbs. Ive been an electrician all my life Mehmet MuratMem aka Mr Olive Oilthe owner tells us. Its no strange thing to sell olive oil in your own shop. In Cyprus if I owned the olive groves and I was also the village mechanic youd naturally ask me to put some oil aside for you after the pressing.Mem who grew up in London has run Embassy since 1978. In 2002 he inherited his parents olive grove in Cyprus. This was actually different plots of land that my father bought over time in Louroujina the village where I was born he explains. My parents planted the trees themselves in 1950. His father used to sell the oil to Italy where it would be mixed with a variety of oils before getting repackaged as Italian for the international market. This is still...</description>

how proud i was to get the guardian newspaper on the 2nd of september 2010 
and find my olive oil which i produce on my groves in koycegiz Turkey getting 
first position in the test of the best olive oils
for a small producer it is a great achievement and makes it all worthwhile 
although i can assure you it is a labour of love
the name of my olive oil is chateau carman named after my house on my olive 
groves 
this particular oil was also described in the sunday observer last year as so 
good you can drink it on its own
i also produce cyprus extra virgin olive oil from my groves surrounding the 
village of louroujina in central cyprus this is labelled murat du carta after

<description>it was nice to get back to whitecross street after being away for so long eric was his usual jovial self helping everyone
it was good to set out my stall especially with all my new stock which drew a lot of attention lots of people tasting my 6 different types of olives produced and prepared by me and my family as well people tasting my infused olive oils and preserved lemons
i sold quite a lot of olives especially the chakistes which we prepare with garlicdry cracked corriander seeds and small pieces of lemon as well as some preserved lemons and paprika the most important thing for me was the fact that people asked if i would be there in the following weeks 
as long as people like what i produce i will continue to do so to the best of my ability i will have to go back to the farm soon in order to catch up with work as well as preparing my next batch of preserved lemons 
i am hoping to venture into producing on my farm hot chilli flakes baby walnut candy watermelon candy seville or...</description>

The great olive oil fraud
 
For many years now we have been led to believe that most commercially produced olive oils are the best and most pure available unfortunately we were in some cases deceived
In previous years Olive oil from the supermarkets was all that was available to most of us unless you was one of the lucky ones as I was to have 2 x 25 liter containers shipped to us every year from our own groves in Cyprus we would share our gift with members of our family as they would share theirs
 
The rest of our produce would be sold off to the co operatives who would ship it off to the commercial producers mainly in Italy for blending and repackaging   
Many olive oils sold in British supermarkets are blended from a variety of diff...</description>

<link>http://www.planetmem.com/page19.htm#16875</link>
<description>just got back from first Cyprus where olives were non existent this year apart from maybe just enough to provide for the immediate family and then Turkey where we picked and  prepared over 3 tons of olives the size of small plums after picking we select the black olives for the table where we wash and put into a container with dry salt and allow to cure   and the green turning black olives for the table but in a different method where we cut each olive slightly lengthways 3 times and put into salt water and citric acid to cure the olive oil that we produced in Turkey this year was naturally infused with freshly picked lemons and another batch with freshly picked mandarins you should have smelt the aroma at the press we had all the locals committing themselves to doing the same next year we should have our delivery by april 2008we will be at whitecross street market on the first friday and saturday of december our stall will be open until 9 pm on the friday

lots of interest on the official opening of whitecross st market 27 july 07
lots of people tasting and making positive comments on the quality of the oil and olives a few made comments regarding packaging good olive oil in plastic please note that the pet bottles we use do not impair the olive oil in any way  we continue to bottle it in this manner because it is 1632 per litre cheaper so the saving is all yours although we do bottle our oil in quality dark green glass bottles 
we have displayed our black dry cured olives with segments of orange  please try our olives in combination with orange it really is a different taste
hope to see you there on sat and sunday the 28th and 29th
