Bring style and substance to your table with our golden hour Sicilian 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.

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.

Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Superb

A fantastic example of fruity and peppery Sicilian olive oil

Fabulous!

Loving the Sicilian olive oil. This is my first bottle since joining the club, although I've tried a couple of different oils previously. This is my favourite so far. I think I'm going to have to increase the frequency of my subscription deliveries as I'm using so much now!

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".
Our Greek, Spanish, Tuscan, Sicilian, and Portuguese oils are all certified organic and Soil Association certified.
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.
