Subscription + occasional extra purchases

I have a subscription and purchase occasional extra supplies of olive oil from Citizens of Soil. The subscription provides me with different flavours throughout the year, the occasional extras keeping me topped up when I need more or when I want particular flavours. Personally, I have seen results of blood tests improve since consuming olive oil daily - I cannot be 100% certain the olive oil is the reason, but I strongly suspect it is. I have at least two spoons per day, plus using olive oil liberally in/over food. Customer service is also great.

This Greek olive oil is my favourite so far. I think of meadows every time I taste it. Absolutely delicious.

First order

I am on my first order and I am pleasantly surprised withe service and quality of the oil. Tbh I am not necessary big olive oil users simply because I found them pricey and conflicting info out there. I thought I would give it a go as I am trying to eat healthier and taste is nothing like ones from supermarkets. It’s nice to have tomatoes, mozarella, basil and drizzle of this tasty oil for dinner, light and delish.

I'm only two weeks in but I'm happy with my first bottle. It's got a subtle flavour and that suits me. The main thing is that it's organic, fresh, single source, high polyphenol, as im using it purely as a supplement. It's a fair price imo.

FAQs

  • Is this oil organic?

    ​​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 they have the certification.

    Many of them, however, are well on their way in the conversion and audit process (it takes a few years), so we hope to share more soon.This year, our core Greek and Spanish EVOO and our Italian Extra Rare are all certified organic, as well as Soil Association certified.

  • Is this cold-pressed?

    In short, yes. No heat or chemicals are used to extract our extra virgin olive oils. And we have third-party lab reports open for each oil to showcase that.

    However, the term “cold-pressed” is really just a marketing buzzword (particularly when used by other non-olive oils).By legal definition in the EU, extra virgin olive oil must be extracted without any heat or chemicals and only comes from the “first pressing” (more like crushing) of the olives—which is exactly how we make our EVOOs.
