DESCRIPTION
Idea
The idea originated at the olive groves of les Alpilles in France where the love for the region and especially the admiration for the passion of olive farmers created the idea to make a spirit based on olives.
BV O’live was founded in April 2018 with a unique product: O’live Gin, a gin based on pitted and dehydrated olives. This innovative product in terms of both taste and production method has given BV O’live the image of a creative company. The first product is an alcoholic beverage, but the intention is to expand the product range (including non-alcoholic products).
BV O’live is the only producer that works in this way: the olives are purchased in the Mediterranean area from local olive farmers who pit and dehydrate them. In Belgium the olives are used to create O'live Gin in a small artisan distillery.

Mission
The saturated market of spicy, bitter, sweet and floral gins has led BV O’live to develop an authentic supernatural gin based on dehydrated and pitted olives...
O’live Gin aims also be the first gin that can be consumed ‘pure’ and used in culinary preparations.
Offering a motivating, pleasant and familiar working environment to our own employees, forming a team with its own DNA: “the OLIVENIERS”.
