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

Introducing the new 2023 from our multi-award winning producer in the Andalucía region of Spain. Situated between Málaga and Sevilla, this family business has completely transformed in just a couple of years under the direction of Marina, whose father's family had been making oil for generations. From a new mobile milling machine for precision quality to converting the groves organic—she has overhauled everything. In return for her effort, this special batch was recognised as "The Best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Sevilla", earning a gold star at Ecotrama.
(Note: if you sign up for an ongoing subscription, you will receive a range of curated oils throughout the year. See more here.)
Harvest: November 2023.
Producers:The Segura Gómez Family—Peña Luna.
Varieties: Hojiblanca and Arbequina
Origin: Pedrera, Sevilla, Andalucía, Spain.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never heat or chemical) means; 0.10% acidity (which is perfection!). The olives are milled within *an hour* of being picked in their mobile mill (🤩). This oil is filtered.
Agriculture: 350 hectares, organically-farmed with some regenerative practices.
Soil type: Limestone.
The middle of 3 daughters in a multi-generational olive oil family, Marina set off on a journey to study the technical quality behind producing the best EVOOs.

When she returned home, she discovered her family’s oil just wasn’t good enough.

So she shut it down and started over. From a new mobile milling machine for precision quality to converting the groves organic—she overhauled everything.

And as a result, she turned her family business from just another olive oil into something *extra* and outstanding—scooping up awards and recognition in just a couple of years, including these specific to this EVOO:

⭐️ "Gran Oro" Gold Medal at Ecotrama, 2022
⭐️ Award for the "The Best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Sevilla", 2021 and 2022
⭐️ Silver Medal at Ecotrama, 2020
⭐️ Gold Medal at Ecotrama, 2019

Note: The oil itself is organically farmed, has the EU Leaf marque and is certified organic by Sohiscert in Spain. However, we are in the process of applying for our certification as a business at Citizens of Soil to label this as organic in the UK. At this time, it’s not certified organic in the UK, though it is organically-farmed.

Delicious taste

I have a place in mallorca and love the “real” oil there. Very difficult to replicate it in the uk so especially happy I tried citizens of soil. Tastes delicious and reminds me of my sunny home.

Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil

OMG! This is so tasty, you can (almost) skip the focaccia for dipping.
So glad I tried this because the flavour is far superior to anything bought in a supermarket.

Introducing a small-batch EVOO from Northern Portugal

It seems like everyone in the olive oil world knows Marije. Ambitious, but decidedly artisan, she represents a new wave of olive oil producers who are increasingly improving the whole industry while keeping it small. This is a story about friends. In the early days of our olive oil adventures, we stumbled around Portugal meeting some of the most exciting women coming up in the space. That led us to Ana, our second producer ever and one who makes multi-award winning, high-polyphenolic extra vi...

Meet Ana: our olive oil producer from Alentejo, Portugal

Meeting this producer actually changed the course of our business. She became the goal of what an “ideal” producer looked like and established a level of quality that’s truly a rare find in the olive oil industry. As we turn down the roads to get to the farm, the path turns from pavement to dirt. This was our very first “sourcing” trip, after only having worked with our close family friends in Greece. We didn’t really know what to expect or what we were getting into.... But nevertheless, we t...

Why is olive oil so expensive right now? Producers weigh in…

The whole olive oil industry is in flux this year, with soaring prices, global shortages, and an ever-increasing demand for the good stuff. So let’s talk about what’s going on and if there’s any signs of prices going back down. As we were in Crete harvesting what little fruit was in Christina’s groves back in November, our phone rang from another producer, Marianna, in the Peloponnese. She was fighting back tears. We’d had chats throughout the season and we were aware the harvest would be do...

Currently, the only subscription we have is for our Olive Oil Club, which will provide you with a range of delicious oils throughout the year.
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.
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.
