We’ve all been there, right. You know, out of nowhere when you’re all out of olive oil and two-core 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 remarkable is that as you allow the varying styles and flavours to wash around your mouth – tasting sessions are more than welcomed – the quality, fortitude and texture of these products are pretty much unrivalled. Globally! Using traditional production methods, where lemons are used to sterillise the pressing stones, means that some oils have a lingering citrus tang; others, that have been allowed to linger longer, have a distinctly nutty twist. Sampling the varieties, side by side, the subtle differences are striking. And as this inspired business goes from strength to strength, incorporating a whole heap of other fancy foodstuffs, the quality is not remotely compromised by the increasing quantity.
