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.

And the only rule to follow here is this: if you think it is too good to be true, then it probably is. ...

Ribollita

A soup from humble beginnings now takes centre stage. First documented in 1910, ribollita is a Tuscan bread soup that was originally considered "peasant food"—the term ribollita literally translates as reboiled due to the fact large batches of this soup were made and reheated. However, despite its humble beginnings the comforting and warming nature of this dish meant it soon became popular through out Italy. This dish is perfect for using an assortment of seasonal veg in a delicious, zero ...
