The Olieve & Olie Story
Andy & Jude at their Grove on the Gunbower Creek
The Grove
Olieve & Olie was founded 23 years ago by Andy & Jude Steele. Their property, situated on the banks of the Gunbower Creek, was the perfect condition for growing olives and so they planted 2000 olive trees. Shortly after their first harvest Jude began making her first batch of olive oil soap.

Sea Change
In 2010 Andy & Jude sold their grove and moved to the Mornington Peninsula. Olieve & Olie continued to flourish from their home studio in St Andrews Beach. The sea-change allowed Jude to concentrate on developing new products and growing the business.

Today
It wasn't long before Andy & Jude outgrew their home studio and in 2015 the business moved into a factory in Rosebud. Shortly afterwards their children, Sarah & Hal, joined the business. From their humble beginnings 23 years ago, Olieve & Olie is a real 'kitchen to factory' success story.
