Produced by Francesca in Syracuse, this limited-edition bottle was designed in collaboration with artist Hal Haines.

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.
Polyphenols: 472 mg/kg.
Origin: Syracuse, Sicily, Italy.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never heat or chemical) means; 0.18% acidity. The olives are milled within hours of being picked. This oil is filtered.
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.

Nose: Aromas of green bell pepper and chicory, followed by softer notes of creamy artichoke and red apple. There’s also herbal notes too, like wild spearmint.

Palate: The palate has a medium bitterness that’s short, with a chicory and nutty note. The finish is like a chile on your throat, with a lingering spice.

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.

Hearty chickpea broth with whipped tahini.

A dish to welcome the new season and new year. We’ve teamed up with chef Kali Jago for recipe, created specifically around our new season Greek EVOO from Corinthia. The soup is topped with a dollop of whipped tahini, a delicious addition that’s easily transferable to other dishes. On a recent trip to Athens, I ate at Diporto, a no-frills, no-menu restaurant where you're seated and served a selection of dishes without ordering. Among them was this chickpea dish: a simple broth, melt-in-the-m...
