Where does the name "Olio" come from?

Updated over a month ago

🤗 Olio means a “miscellaneous collection of things” - which is what you will see when you look on the app!


🌶️ It's also the name for a traditional Spanish/Portuguese stew, and stew is a dish that is commonly created in order to prevent food waste.


🌍 We also chose the name Olio because we loved the two O's which could be symbolic of the planet, or the local community and or the idea of sharing to create a circular economy.


💚 And finally, we really loved the word and the way it sounds.
