These outstanding extra virgin olive oils come from small-batch, family-owned, organically-farmed producers and were harvested in October 2023.
The oils here have been curated by our founder and olive oil sommelier, Sarah Vachon, to reflect not only flavourful and diverse products, but also from farmers who share our values—working in harmony with nature and in a way that builds a health ecosystem.

These women have incredible stories about how they got here, so learn more about them below...

Ana in Portugal.

Lena in Croatia.
—Portugal—
Tastes like...

Nose: The fragrance of apples, with olive leaves and fresh-cut green grass, followed by lemon peel.

Palate: It's like a bouquet of herbs. Clean. Moderately bitter. There's also a slightly sweet note, almost almond-like with a persistently peppery finish, like chile.

Pairs with...
Cheesy dishes. Perfect for drizzling on tomato soups. Very happy in a martini. Dreamy in cacio e pepe.

—Croatian—
Tastes like...

Nose: Green vegetables, fresh-cut grass and green tomatoes.

Palate: Clean. Moderately bitter with an intense peppery finish.

Pairs with...
Really loves a risotto, sings in soups, amazing in arugula salads, enjoys an aged cheese, and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate.
100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

Extra Rare Olive Oil Set

Liquid gold

I previously bought a bottle of Ana’s Portuguese EVOO which was (as expected) sensational. So I was excited to get more, along with the Croatian limited run. I haven’t yet tried the latter, but this duo is a must for anyone who’s an EVOO connoisseur or just discovering a taste for Citizen of Soil’s superb curation of oils.

FAQs

The Olive Oil Club delivers a range of delicious oils throughout the year. At this time, you can't sign up for a subscription to just one oil, though you can order larger formats, sets, or our bottles when you need to top-up.
Our producers all farm organically to the EU standard without any synthetics or chemical "cides". However, as we only work with small farms, some have not yet been certified—which is why we cannot legally label them as “organic”, unless it has the certification. Many of them, though, are well on their way in the conversion and audit process (it takes a few years), so we hope to share more soon.
Currently, our Greek oil from Sparta is the only EVOO in our range that can carry the organic certification on its label.
Welcome you to the fascinating, yet very confusing world of extra virgin olive oil. We wrote an article all about the term "cold-pressed" if you'd like to read up in detail, but in short, it is just a marketing buzzword, as by legal definition in the EU, extra virgin olive oil is extracted without any heat or chemicals and only comes from the “first pressing” (more like squeezing) of the olives—which is exactly the definition of our products.

The ultimate Greek salad

Made for a sunshine moment. Simple, quick, and oh so delicious, Greek salad is made (or broken!) by the freshness of the ingredients. This is a dish that really should be eaten in summer when tomatoes and cucumbers are in season. This recipe is from our Cretan queen—Maria. We've sat around Maria's table in Crete many times learning her recipe for the perfect mix. Maria opts for the addition of red wine vinegar for a little more acidity and depth of flavour. But, if vinegar isn't your thing ...
