Are you an olive oil enthusiast, looking to explore new tastes, all while supporting small-scale producers and sustainable farming practices?

Olive oil producer, Citizens of Soil, sources directly from small-scale groves, and champions farmers using regenerative agricultural practices. What’s more, you can have the oil delivered straight through your letterbox, thanks to a convenient subscription service.

Small batch, big flavour

In order to combat the lack of transparency and anonymised mass production within the olive oil industry, Citizens of Soil supports independent farmers working on small-scale groves.

You can find details such as harvest date, specific olive varieties, antioxidant count and producer information to get a solid understanding of the produce journey, from farm to pantry. Small-scale producers receive well-above the market rates, and their names on the olive oil bottle for complete transparency and traceability.

In addition to this, the brand champions female growers using regenerative farming practices that promote soil health, nutrition and biodiversity. Such practices include diverse planting, low or no tiling of the soil and allowing animals to graze between the groves.

Rinse, refill, repeat

For many of us, olive oil is a regular shopping list item, which can result in a pile up of plastic bottles. To help you reduce waste, Citizens of Soil offers a refill service.

Receive pouches through your letterbox, and refill your favourite olive oil bottle when it’s in need of topping up. You can even return your used pouches for free recycling.
