One-off purchase

Regeneratively farmed. High in polyphenols. Very small batch.

Introducing a multi-award winning single estate extra virgin olive oil from the Alto Alentejo wine region of Portugal. 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.

Great product

Great quality and product. Yes, it is not cheap but the price is fair and it is not more expensive than other not so good brands on the market. It is worth it

THE ONLY ONE FOR ME

wouldn’t buy any other oil now. It’s too good.

Great taste

Beautiful smooth and full of aroma tasting oil with a hint of bitterness. Love it x

Prefer

Not as nice as the Greek oil and more expensive and a smaller bottle.

Sustainable & delicious!

I love the knowledge that I am helping small farmers and that I am getting a product that you can trace back to source.

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.
