A Love Letter to the
Mediterranean

My journey began over ten years ago on the Balearic island of Mallorca, where I discovered something profound in the simple rhythm of Mediterranean life the warmth of shared tables, the art of making by hand, and the timeless wisdom of slowing down.

While studying the Blue Zones during my Master’s in Public Health, I learned that places like Sardinia and Ikaria hold secrets not just to longevity, but to truly living. These communities understand that food, craft, and connection are the threads that weave life’s most meaningful moments.

Olive & Cord was born to share this magic with you. Each box is a sensory journey the scent of lavender, the feel of hand crocheted fibers, the taste of heritage recipes designed to root you in tradition and connect you to something bigger.

"For me, food has always been more than nourishment — it's connection. Bread, honey, and handmade crafts can bring together people who don't share the same spoken language, yet instantly share community."

Blue Zone Wellness Daily Movement, Naturally Fact: In Sardinia, people live longer because movement is built into daily life; walking hills, tending gardens, cooking... Longevity is woven into everyday living. A walk in the market, a stroll through the garden, kneading bread, simple movements that sustain a long, joyful life.

A first look at our debut Olive&Cord box, inspired by the sun-soaked island of Mallorca, Spain. At the heart of this box is Gatoʻ de Almendras, a traditional almond cake made with local almonds and citrus, a recipe that has been passed down for generations. Almonds are at the soul of Mallorcan cuisine, and this cake is a celebration of the island's history, harvest, and culture. 🫒Every Olive&Cord box is designed as a Mediterranean journey for your senses, flavor, touch, scent , and story. This is just the beginning. ☀️Would you savor this with your morning coffee or with a glass of sweet Spanish wine?
