Members of The Third Eye had the pleasure of meeting Oliver Borg, co-founder of J’Oli, where they got to learn about J’Oli and its origins, all while witnessing firsthand the stellar service provided at the establishment! 

J’Oli’s History

Co-owners Oliver Borg and Jean Paul Cascun had talked about starting a catering business for a long time. Their business backgrounds set them apart from the competition, and their unique and innovative approach to food earned them popularity from all over the island. 

J’Oli now has two more locations in Msida and Valletta, after opening one in Sliema in 2014. 

The origin of the name was actually the most time-consuming aspect of their project. They came up with the name ‘J’Oli’ by combining their first names, Jean Paul and Oliver, to create an original combination. 

Their Mission

Oliver and Jean Paul wanted to make food that was both delicious and nutritious. What better way to promote a healthy lifestyle than to open a salad sandwich bar where customers can make their own salads? 

Customers have the option of building their own wraps and salads by selecting their own ingredients! 

Oliver believes that allowing customers to choose their own ingredients will encourage them to eat the food more passionately. 

Furthermore, by allowing customers to select their own ingredients for their meals, they have made their establishment more feasible to those with food allergies or picky eaters. 

J’Oli aims to make healthy food accessible to everyone, regardless of the ingredients they prefer. 

Moreover, they believe in the importance of providing children with healthier food options from a young age in order to teach them the importance of eating food products that are beneficial to the body. 

Their Motto

“Whatever is not good for us, is not good for the customer” 

The founders of J’Oli believe in serving fresh meals to its customers. Which is why they prepare their food with the freshest ingredients available on the island, which contributes to their excellent service! 

For The Students

Jean Paul and Oliver wanted to offer students a healthy dining option close to campus. They want students to live a healthy lifestyle, and what better way to encourage that than to start a business that promotes healthy living just minutes from campus? 

Furthermore, J’Oli takes pride in providing exceptional and prompt service, ensuring that students do not have to wait long for their food, making it the ideal place to grab great food in a matter of minutes while still making it to class on time! 

Students are always on the look-out for new places to try and new food to discover, so if you’re currently looking for a new place to hang out at, J’Oli is the perfect spot! You’ll be met with a stellar service, fantastic prices, and amazing food! 

Future Projects

Oliver teased a new upcoming project that is currently in the works. Fans of J’Oli should keep an eye out for any future announcements from the establishment!

Kleaven Pisani, KSJC President, said that the council made it a point to increase inclusivity for Junior College Students. The council saw a lack of this, especially with regards to vegan food being easily accessible for the students.

“The idea of increasing the amount of vegan food being prepared in the school canteen was always seen as something fruitless in previous years, however this year, thanks to a council that is even closer to students than ever before, we realized that there is a considerable amount of students that follow these vegan and vegetarian diets and that they find it difficult to find suitable options that suits their likes and dislikes”.

Kleaven Pisani, KSJC President

This will not only target those who are on a vegan diet but it will also encourage students to try out vegan food to satisfy their taste buds.

“As a result, we tackled the problem head-on, discussing different ideas with the school canteen on how we can cater for these students. This initiative is going to create a fitter environment for Junior College students making their experience of higher quality”.

KSJC plans to further increase the food options that are available on Campus to cater to different cultures and diets.
