Tastes like...
Fresh and buttery, with an initial aroma of fresh-cut green grass, followed by the fragrance of artichokes and tomato. On the palate, it has a smooth and delicate creamy feel, with distinct herby notes like oregano and dried basil 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.

Presents went down brilliantly and everyone was delighted by the taste, quality and the whole ethos of the company. Boom time!

Great taste !

Excellent Oil

Wonderful tasting oil. Received quickly and in good condition.

Delicious oil

The Greek oil I bought is well worth the cost. It has a superb, complex but delicate flavour and buying it supports small, local producers.

Wonderful olive oil and service

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.

Hearty chickpea broth with whipped tahini.

A dish to welcome the new season and new year. We’ve teamed up with chef Kali Jago for recipe, created specifically around our new season Greek EVOO from Corinthia. The soup is topped with a dollop of whipped tahini, a delicious addition that’s easily transferable to other dishes. On a recent trip to Athens, I ate at Diporto, a no-frills, no-menu restaurant where you're seated and served a selection of dishes without ordering. Among them was this chickpea dish: a simple broth, melt-in-the-m...
