Wicked Enviously Delicious Pitted Kalamata Olives

Wicked Enviously Delicious Pitted Kalamata Olives are part of the Wicked Kitchen brand, a global leader in the plant-based and vegan food industry. The brand was famously co-founded in 2016 by chef brothers Derek and Chad Sarno, who gained international recognition for their culinary innovation while working with major retailers like Tesco in the United Kingdom. Their mission was to create chef-driven, high-quality vegan alternatives that do not sacrifice flavor.

Historically, the brand launched in the UK before expanding globally to markets including the United States, Australia, and parts of Europe. While the brand has its culinary roots in the US and the UK, its products are manufactured in various locations depending on the specific product line and local demand to ensure freshness and shelf-life.

In early 2024, the brand underwent a significant ownership transition when it was acquired by Ahimsa Companies, an Indian-backed holding company and venture capital arm of the Ahimsa Foundation. This acquisition was part of a broader sector consolidation effort to scale plant-based options and vertically integrate manufacturing processes, aiming to make animal-free products more sustainable and accessible on a global scale.
