Introducing this fresh curation from the organic groves of five families around Laconia; Vilia, Kargakos, Christofilakos, Valkanas, and Alexandrakou families.

In the end, old traditions and family legacies have mixed with high-tech precision to deliver thoughtful quality, all centred around a community making its comeback.
Tastes like...
Fresh and buttery, with an initial aroma of fresh-cut green grass, followed by the fragrance of herbs and tomatoes. On the palate, it has a smooth and delicate creamy feel, with distinct notes like apples coming through. The finish here is pleasant with a tingling cracked pepper spice.

Pairs with...
Pestos—In fresh, herby sauces like pesto, chermoula, and chimichurris! Perfect to put this over pasta, beans, potatoes.
Salads—Marinating summer tomatoes or drizzled over fruit salads.
Ice cream—Poured over vanilla ice cream with a bit of sea salt, or with crème fraîche over a chocolate cake with berries in the sunshine.
100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

This batch came in at 500 mg/kg of polyphenols, which is above the 250 mg/kg benchmark set by EU Regulation (No. 432/2012) about high-polyphenol olive 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 and our Italian oil from Tuscany are the only oils 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.

Wild garlic greens on toast.

This toast screams spring. Bold greens and fresh flavours from wild garlic, courgettes and violet artichokes are topped with a good drizzle of Citizens of Soil extra virgin olive oil. "For me eating fresh artichokes is always such a joy; there’s something special about cooking them from scratch," says Kali Jago (@kalicooking), creator of this recipe. If you can’t find fresh or just want a quick, low-fuss toast, tinned or frozen artichokes are excellent substitutes. This generously serves tw...

This slow-cooked lamb dish is the second recipe in our series of three Greek Easter recipes from Helena Moursellas. Helena is a bestselling cookbook author and chef who, alongside her twin sister Vikki, is sharing her love for Greek food with the world. She blends culinary expertise with creativity and a deep ...

When it comes to extra virgin olive oil, spicy is good (for you).

Spicy, peppery, pungent—these are all words that can be used to describe extra virgin olive oil. That tingling feeling is an indicator of the polyphenol content of the oil. And like all health related buzz-words, ‘polyphenol’ is getting a lot of airtime right now, on podcasts and in the papers. So we wanted to give you the low-down on what spicy really means for olive oil, straight from an informed professional. This article was written by Alexis Kerner, a leading international olive oil e...
