Award-winning, extra virgin olive oils from regenerative farms.
The olive oil industry fraught with issues, including a dangerous lack of transparency and anonymised mass production. It's also overly commoditised, so independent farmers aren't making enough money, the oil changes hands loads of times on the journey between farm and table, and the final oil in your pantry is usually an old, flat, and flavourless shadow of what it once was. Citizens of Soil was born out of the desire to break that chain and allow you to taste something you never would have had the chance to before. Their transparent supply chain means you can trace every drop of oil back to the land and community that made it.
Citizens of Soil pay their producers well above market rates. This way grove owners can focus on the quality of the oil and continue to implement regenerative farming techniques to preserve biodiversity and soil quality.
Healthy soil makes healthy oil. Citizens of Soil source from regenerative growers who farm organically, promoting biodiversity and protecting life in the soil. Their oils reflect that quality. The EU specifies that EVOO should have a count of 250 mg/kg to qualify as ‘high polyphenol’. Citizens of Soil comes in well above this: between 457 and 799 mg/kg. Each bottle shows the source and polyphenol count so you have full transparency.
