Olivia Petrou is the Founder of Olive & Fig, where her love for beautiful, thoughtful food and creating memorable experiences comes to life in every product. With a deep passion for food, family and gathering, Olivia has transformed her vision for elevated entertaining into a go-to brand across the GTA.

From a young age and growing up in a large Greek family, Olivia was inspired by the joy of gathering people around a table full of delicious house-made food. She believes that food is more than sustenance—it is a way to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories.

Before founding Olive & Fig, Olivia built a successful career in HR and executive recruitment, specializing in sourcing, selecting, and developing top talent. This experience allowed the development of a stellar team at Olive & Fig building a company culture rooted in creativity, collaboration, and excellence. What began as a weekend passion project in 2019 quickly evolved into a thriving business, as Olivia recognized the delivery demand for beautifully curated grazing experiences.

Beyond the kitchen, Olivia is known for her warmth, energy, and dedication to her team and clients. Every product created by Olive & Fig embodies her philosophy that thoughtful, beautiful food has the power to connect hearts, spark joy, and create lasting memories.
