About Citizens of Soil:
At Citizens of Soil, we’re creating the UK’s favourite brand of olive oil; a show-stopping brand for modern citizens who care about quality, transparency, and sustainability.
We’re changing the olive oil industry for good by sourcing directly from small-scale producers who practice regenerative farming, and by championing the remarkable women who make our award-winning oils.
Our transparent supply chain means we can trace where every drop comes from and that fair pay is established from the beginning.
Citizens of Soil is a B Corp and a 1% for the Planet member, with one percent of every sale goes toward soil regeneration projects. We’re also the first olive oil brand with refill pouches and a subscription—taking back the packaging to close the loop.
With a cult following, our small-batch oils are favoured by Michelin-starred chefs in some of London’s top restaurants and stocked in premium outlets like Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, and Waitrose.
Together we’re turning a commodity into a community.
