—Intense & Peppery—

Bring style and substance to your table with our golden hour aperitivo set. Everything you need to enjoy those warm evenings al fresco: our limited-edition Sicilian EVOO, designed in collaboration with artist Hal Haines, summer's hottest accessory—an Olive Oil Club cap—and our golden hour menu, to inspire delicious moments.

Small-batch. Family-owned. Organically-farmed.

Produced by Francesca in Syracuse, this limited-edition bottle was designed in collaboration with artist Hal Haines and inspired by Casa Lawa in Sicily, where he's an artist in residence this summer.

Hal’s bold, colourful brushstrokes are inspired by the landscape of the region, where centuries-old olive trees sit among flowering lemon groves, trailing bougainvillea, and iconic prickly pears.

Whether drizzled over lemon pasta, rocket salads, or paired with anchovies and warm bread—this oil brings a fresh, classically Sicilian feel to the table. The ideal accompaniment to aperitivo, summer dinner party, or the centrepiece for your summer tablescape.
Harvest: October 2024.
Variety: 100% Cerasuola.

Francesca—whose last name literally means ‘olive’—is a tenacious woman who has worked tirelessly to turn her family business into one centred on quality and sustainability.

Her generational ties run deep in this fiery region of eastern Sicily, which she describes as a "land full of cultures and colour", inspiring the exceptional oil she creates.

A delicious addition to any dish

Tastes like summer! I’ve been enjoying the Sicilian on pretty much anything - salads, pasta, overnight oats, toast (instead of spread). The flavour works well in these warmer months, takes me back to spending time in Italy growing up. Would recommend.

The best we've ever had

Being a connoisseur of High Polyphenol Olive Oils I can say this is the best we have ever had, it tastes Great.

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.

Tashi (Cypriot tahini dip).

Drizzled into a souvlaki, used as a dip for fluffy pitas, or as another meze staple, this dip is as versatile as it is moorish. Tahini is a big part of Cypriot cuisine, and this dish is no exception. Simple, but delicious, the key to this recipe is a good quality tahini, fresh lemon juice, and a finishing drizzle of plenty of extra virgin olive oil. Here's the method: Add the tahini to a mixing bowl, then squeeze in the lemon juice. Slowly whisk in the cold water until completely smoo...
