From Maremma

—Intense & Peppery—

The olive oils in our extra rare range are all early harvest, produced in limited quantities, and are rarely tasted outside their native regions. We source them from producers pushing the boundaries of flavour and nutrition.

This is the boldest oil in our range, from the world renowned region of Tuscany, close to the coast. It's high in polyphenols and packed with aromatic flavours–everything you'd expect from a classic Italian olive oil.

Organically-farmed. High in polyphenols. Small batch.

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 nice oil definitely worth a try

Excellent olive oil

Absolutely delicious and so good to know how healthy it is too. I use it almost everyday as it adds such a wonderful flavour to so many things. I also often just take a spoonful of it as it is so high in polyphenols.

Harvested Oct 2024, just within the 18 months I would anticipate being at it's best, not as peppery as I would have preferred.

Hi George, thank you for the feedback on our Tuscan Extra Rare 2024 Harvest. I’ve sent you a direct email so we can chat further about this—please do check your inbox! Many thanks for supporting these incredible producers. Olive our best, Daisy

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.

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.

Hydroxytyrosol benefits: the real reason high-quality olive oil matters.

It's not the most pronounceable word in the pantry—we'll give you that. But hydroxytyrosol might just be one of the most important compounds in your diet. It’s also the reason why the scientists and nutritionists who really know their olive oil get a little obsessive about it. This article was written in partnership with Erin Ridley—a certified olive oil sommelier, as well as a former producer, sensory panelist, and competition judge.
