About Us
THE FOUNDERS
SXOLLIE was founded by Laura Clacey, a former sustainability specialist who cared enough about what she was drinking to question an entire category, and Karol Ostaszewski, a chartered accountant who wanted to build something real rather than just audit it.
Together, we set out to build a cider business that did things properly. No smoke. No mirrors. No hiding behind marketing.
WHY SXOLLIE
When we looked closely at the cider industry, we saw a category hiding behind pretty pictures of orchards and tractors, while the liquid itself was often made from concentrate and bulked out with added sugar, flavourings and colourings.
Legally, just 35% apple juice qualifies as cider. We think it deserves better.
We use apples, not loopholes.
HOW IT'S MADE
SXOLLIE is made purely from apples you'd find in your fruit bowl, like Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples.
That means only one type of apple is used per bottle. They're the famous apples you already know, love and eat every day... and now the Lush Lemon too!
Nothing artificial.
Nothing added.
Nothing to hide.
We treat cider more like wine than alcopop. Clean. Crisp. Balanced. Made properly so it tastes good without needing anything extra.
PROOF NOT PROMISES
With over a decade in the cider industry, SXOLLIE has won multiple international taste awards and secured listings with some of the UK’s most respected retailers and restaurant groups.
We are also proud to be the UK’s first B Corp certified cider brand. Sustainability is not a bolt on for us. It is built into how we source, make and grow the business.
