Our history

The Crespo Brand has a long and deep rooted heritage in producing and selling high quality, great tasting olives.

Where it all began

A Mediterranean passion since 1921

The art of preparing olives has been passed down the Crespo family from generation to generation. For nearly a century, Crespo has become known as the Mediterranean’s most trusted olive brand, as it gained a reputation for quality, delicious olives.

In the early 1920’s, the Crespo family started to marinate olives for their friends and family. They were such a success that the family started to sell them along with other Mediterranean food.

In the 1950's in Algeria, Henri and Antoine Crespo began to export to the French market and their passion for olives laid the foundations for the Crespo Brand. After the Algerian independence in the 1 960’s, Crespo's acquired olive groves in Seville and Marrakech and started exporting Crespo Olives into other European markets and America in the 1980’s.
