One-off purchase

Regeneratively farmed. High in polyphenols. Very small batch.
Introducing our limited-edition magnum bottle, filled with 1.5 litres of our multi-award winning, single estate, extra virgin olive oil from the Alto Alentejo wine region of Portugal.
It comes packaged up in a wooden wine box—perfect for gifting.
This oil is made one of the most inspiring producers we've ever met, Ana Cardoso, on her 10 hectare plot, where she farms *and* mills award-winning oils herself.
This is one of our "Extra Rare" limited batches and is best used as a finishing EVOO to keep the high level of antioxidants and peppery flavour intact.

Harvest: October 2023.
Variety: Galega.
Polyphenols: 799 mg/kg.
Origin: Fronteira, Alto Alentejo, Portugal.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never chemical or heated) means. ≤ 0.15 acidity. The olives are milled within hours of being picked. This oil is filtered.
Agriculture: Organically-farmed with regenerative practices including grazing animals and a focus on biodiversity.
Soil type: Clay loam.
This oil is superbly made by Ana Cardoso and Paolo Morosi.

Ana is one of those rare finds in the EVOO industry—a thoughtful farmer and a meticulous miller. This superhero skillset has landed her the following awards for her very first harvest doing it all:

⭐️ Silver Award at the 2022 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition (USA)
⭐️ Silver at the 2022 Berlin GOOA (Germany)
⭐️ Silver Medal at the 2022 EVO IOOC (Italy)
⭐️ Silver at the Amsterdam AIOOC 2022 (Netherlands)
⭐️ Silver at the Olive Japan 2022 (Japan)

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.
100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

This early-harvest oil is packed with antioxidants, and comes in at a whopping 799 mg/kg of total polyphenols, which is above the 250 mg/kg benchmark set by EU Regulation (No. 432/2012) about high-polyphenol olive oils.

Bitter

I loooove good olive oil and, having never spent more than £20 on a bottle of olive oil, I decided to splash out and buy 2 bottles of this (to save paying the shipping charge!) I'm afraid I won't be buying more as I really don't like it! I find it horribly bitter. At first I thought it was just my pallet on that particular occasion making it taste odd but I've tried it again numerous times with different foods and I can't get over the bitterness. If I didn't know better I'd have thought it was off.

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

The opportunity to purchase a magnum of this beautiful EVOO was not to be missed. I’d like to be able to say it was for a gift, but no, it was for me and hubby who are both simply delighted with it. Beautifully presented, absolutely delicious and super-rich in polyphenols. We love it.

Best olive oil I’ve ever had

Portuguese EVOO: 798 mg-kg polyphenols

The finest EVOO I have ever had. It tastes wonderful, pure liquid gold. It clears my arteries and lowers my blood pressure.

I’ve bought a few 385 ml bottles and bought the 1.5 litre magnum with case. I will be sad when there are no more reserves left but I hope another similar batch will come online soon.

Keep up the good work Citizens of Soil, oil be back!!

Fantastic oil, well worth the investment

superb

Absolutely loving this oil, it's really tasty!

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.
