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.

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.

Zesty winter salad

Vibrant, crunchy, sour, sweet. The perfect winter salad. Fresh flavours and a beautiful pop of colour—this is a guaranteed to impress your dinner guests this festive season.

Magic chocolate mousse

Chocolate mousse. And a touch of gold. This stunning recipe is from Kali Jago, chef and co-founder of Palm Greens. Aquafaba is a magic ingredient, and for me personally I [Kali] love chocolate mousse and so I was so excited when I adapted one of my favourite Raymond Blanc’s chocolate mousse recipes to replace egg whites with aquafaba. What’s also so great about this, is you’re using an ingredient that is usually thrown away. This is light and fluffy, but also rich and deeply chocolatey. I ...

Roasted Carrots with Orange & Hazlenut Gremolata

A side dish fit for a festive table. A classic Christmas dish with a modern twist. With zesty, toasted notes and a good dose of EVOO, these sweet roasted carrots bring brightness and comfort to the table. Things can get hectic in the kitchen during the holiday season so we suggest making the gremolata ahead of time (max two days) and giving it a final fry off in the pan before you spoon it over the roasted carrots. This dish works well with any of our olive oils, particularly those with ro...
