Introducing a thoughtful, single estate, extra virgin olive oil from the Maremma region of the Tuscan coast in Italy. This Tuscan olive oil is made by a dynamic husband and wife duo who are combining their background in conservation and natural land management with a passion for nutrition.
This is one of our "Extra Rare" limited batches and is best used as a finishing EVOO to keep the high level of antioxidants and peppery flavour intact.

Harvest: October 2024.
Variety: Blend of primarily Frantoio, Leccino, and other Tuscan varieties, with smaller amounts of Coratina and Grignano.
*Note from producer: "While Coratina (from Puglia) and Grignano (from the Verona area) are historically used for blending, in our case they play a minor but meaningful role—Coratina adds structure, and Grignano contributes to the aromatics."
Polyphenols: 655 mg/kg.
Origin: Maremma, Tuscany, Italy.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never chemical or heated) means. 0.15% acidity. The olives are milled within 3-5 hours of being picked. This oil is filtered.
Agriculture: Organically-farmed with regenerative practices focussed on soil health and biodiversity.
Soil type: Clay.
Candice comes from the arts. Fabrizio comes from the land.

Together they have a lifelong commitment to sustainability, which is present in every decision, action, and detail of their work.

They're also equally passionate about the nutritional side.

"We use precision farming methods and state-of-the-art extraction technology to bring you something unique; high phenolic olive oil, a gift for your palate and a longevity resource for your body."

Coming from 20 hectares of organically-farmed olive groves facing the Mediterranean sea, in one of the most unspoilt and fascinating areas in the region, this is an oil as beautiful as its homeland.
Nose: A robust, green, herbaceous oil with aromas of artichoke & white pepper. It's almost creamy with floral notes like those of clover flowers.

Palate: There’s an amaretto note coming from almond and apple. It's bitter—showcasing its Tuscan roots. It finishes with an intense but clean pepper from the soaring polyphenols in this curated blend.

Pairings: Try this with zingy grapefruit. Pour over a seafood steak like a seared tuna. Let it sing over fresh mozzarella salad. Brighten up hearty bean stews. This is an oil for robust pastas. Pour over a steak. Drizzle with dark chocolate.
100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

This early-harvest Tuscan olive oil is packed with antioxidants, and comes in at a whopping 655 mg/kg of total polyphenols (when tested in February 2025), which is above the 250 mg/kg benchmark set by EU Regulation (No. 432/2012) about high-polyphenol olive oils.

Really happy

Beautiful oil!!

I’m not going back to supermarket oil now, brings a whole new level to flavour 👌

I found it very expensive for an oil that is ‘light’ in flavour, and very bitter. Not at all the dipping oil found so often in italian restaurants. Not worth the price. I have though, ordered the Croatian oil since and await, with hope, that this one might be more flavourful.

A little bitter

I am a HUGE fan of Citizens of Soil. The olive oil in the olive oil club is amazing and has literally changed the taste of all the food I eat, I can’t get enough of it. The Tuscan Extra Rare olive oil however is a little bitter for me and not quite as sweet as the other oils which is a shame. Otherwise I can’t recommend this company enough!!

While bitter is considered a very positive attribute in olive oil (and we hear from some people in the community they'd like more bitter oils from us as that attribute represents more of the antioxidant quality, along with pepperiness)—we get it is not a flavour that everyone enjoys.

In case there's an oil that has got too strong of a flavour, cooking with it does the trick. The strong, green flavours soften while heated. This Tuscna oil pairs well with bold flavours, try it on tuna steak or chargrilled vegetables.

Great product

Really nice taste and well packaged. Definitely worth a go if you like OO

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". 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.
Currently, our Greek oil from Sparta and our Italian oil from Tuscany are the only oils in our range that can carry the organic certification on its label.
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.

Cherry pavlova with olive oil

At events and tastings, customers would ask about the best way to store their oil and show us different vessels they had used to refill our signature pouches. When you make a normal glass olive oil bottle as pretty as ours—it’s natural that people want to see what...

Soft, silky tofu, fragrant shiso, and peppery olive oil come together for a simple yet refreshing and incredibly delicious dish. Shed a new light on EVOO, and find inspiration from Japan this golden hour with this recipe from Yoko Nakada (@houseoffuumi).
