The Olive Oil Club 3 Month Gift

For the duration of the gift subscription, the recipient will receive a monthly 500ml pouch of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) delivered to their home through their letterbox.

Each month they will receive a different EVOO, showcasing a variety of regions, producers, olive varietals and flavour profiles from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Each delivery will include a producer card with information about the growers, tasting notes, and a seasonal recipe paired with that oil.

No, our gift subscriptions are digital. On the date you selected, the recipient will receive an email notifying them of their Olive Oil Club subscription and how to redeem it. Once they have redeemed the gift they'll be sent their first delivery of delicious olive oil on the date of their choice.

In the email they received announcing the gift, they’ll find a redemption link. To activate they subscription, they need to enter their delivery address and select the date for the first delivery.

If they are unable to redeem the gift, please reach out to oliveus@citizensofsoil.com, and we'll be able to assist you.

Yes, you can choose the when the email arrives. Unfortunately it is not possible to select a same day notification, but you can choose the next day. 

For the email to arrive in time for Christmas Day you will need to put the order through by 11pm on the 24th December.

Lucky them! We're so pleased to hear they're already enjoying the liquid gold life as part of the Olive Oil Club. Their gift membership can be redeemed on the same account, so they'll be able to access their delivery address quickly and easily. 

If they'd like to pause their current subscription please contact us at oliveus@citizensofsoil.com and we'd be more than happy to do that for them.

For the email to arrive in time for Christmas Day you will need to put the order through by 11pm on the 24th December.

Please note that no item will be sent physically until the gift is redeemed. If you'd like to add something *extra* for them to open on Christmas Day, a bar of olive oil chocolate or Drizzle, our olive oil cookbook are loved by our community and are perfect accompaniments to a gift membership. 

Yes! We curate new, exciting EVOOs from small-batch producers that change every month, meaning you'll get to try as many as 12 per year.

Although you might come across the same producer, you'll receive a different oil every month, getting to try several different regions, styles, and varieties throughout the year.

Our 12-month gift option includes one of our stylist ceramic pourers, for no additional charge. 

For the other gift options, you can add one of our ceramic pourers to your order—the perfect vessel to decant and pour your EVOO from. Save on a ceramic when you add it to your membership.

Our pouches are BPA and phthalate-free, made from the following material: PET12/ 7ALU/ 15NY/ PE120.

After extensive research, testing, and discussions with olive oil and sustainability experts alike, we’re confident this is the best packaging solution currently available. These multi-layer pouches are proven to protect the oil from oxidation over its lifespan, maintaining shelf life, and protecting its flavour and nutritional value—a huge priority for us. Plus, their carbon footprint is approximately 15 x lower than our glass bottles.

However, these multi-layer pouches are not kerbside or storefront recyclable. This is why we have a free return scheme, and a contract with a private recycling company, MYGroup, who transform waste plastics into new, market-ready products and plastic boards for versatile use; a closed-loop approach keeps plastics circulating within our own system, reducing reliance on virgin materials and supporting long-term, sustainable use.

We also tested bioplastics—seaweed-based packaging, which is a pretty appealing idea from a sustainability standpoint. The result, however, was a significant drop in quality within just a few months. The barrier properties weren’t there, regardless of the ecological credentials.

We’re still actively looking for formats that deliver on all counts—quality preservation, carbon emissions, and sustainability—and we genuinely welcome insights from anyone working on this.

The beauty of the Olive Oil Club is that every oil is sourced by our founder and EVOO sommelier, Sarah, taking the burden of choice away from you while ensuring you always get an exceptional oil.

We’re confident you’ll love the EVOOs we send you, but if you are ever disappointed, we welcome feedback. Conversely, if there’s an oil you can’t get enough of, you can always get in touch with us for an extra pouch. We love hearing your thoughts, it helps us align our sourcing to your preferences.

Our producers all farm organically to the EU standard without any synthetics or chemical "cides". However, we only work with small farms, and some have not yet been officially certified, as certification is an expensive process. This is why we cannot legally label it as “organic”. Many of our producers are undertaking the audit process (it takes a few years), and we actively support them on their journey to certification.

Currently, our bottled oils from Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal carry the organic certification on their label, as do our Health Club oils.

“Cold-pressed” is little more than a marketing buzzword. All extra virgin olive oil, by legal definition, must be extracted without heat and come from the “first pressing” of the olives.

High-quality producers, like the ones we work with, use modern milling technology (as opposed to the old stone presses) to cold-extract the oil—a much more precise and hygienic way to turn olives into oil. Learn more here.
