Olive Oil Club Gift (12 months)

This olive oil is worth paying for! Love it 😻 it’s so fresh and delicious 😋

I love everything about being a subscriber. I know I’m getting good quality, well sourced olive oils. I don’t like supermarket olive oils knowing any are sourced from different countries then maybe packaged in another. I trust Citizens of oil and the flavour of oils is so luxurious. The oil pourer is elegant and adds to the superiority of the oil. I love the background information on each oil package and look forward to each delivery

I’m a third-culture kid who’s moved around since childhood. There are certain ingredients that instantly transport me back to different corners of the world.
For example, growing up in Germany, our Italian neighbours would return from their village each summer with fresh olive oil, knowing my dad had a special appreciation for it. The day it arrived became a ritual: warm baguette from the French patisserie around the corner, a generous pour of that season’s oil, and then that shared moment of disbelief - how can olive oil taste this good?
Over the years, as I travelled and lived in different places, I always sought out regional olive oils and the stories they carried. Since starting my Citizens of Soil subscription, each delivery has brought back those memories through its distinct flavour profiles. I especially appreciate the thoughtful packaging and the stories behind each producer, making every bottle feel personal, connected, and full of place.

Delicious

The background information on the producers is really interesting and thoughtfully put together and the associated recipes on the web site a great resource but ultimately the oils themselves were not sufficiently interesting. Too many described as “delicate”, too many lacked the intense peppery heat I associate with really fresh oil. A nice company, a nice idea but sadly not for me.
