Move over wine – olive oil is having a moment


Foodies, listen up, it’s a little passé to bring wine to your host. Instead, olive oil is the bottle du jour, and here’s one with style and substance — Citizens of Soil extra virgin olive oil.


From its core Greek and Spanish bottles, to the company’s more limited Extra Rare collection, each is sourced for fla- vour by the founder (an olive oil somme- lier) directly from regenerative produc- ers across the Mediterranean. Packaged in chic, dark, burgundy-style bottles, each has a complex flavour profile and comes with tasting notes and pairing suggestions. Te exceptional range proves it’s time to expand the concept of terroir and nuances of variety beyond the world of wine.


DELICIOUS, INCLUSIVE & LASTS BEYOND THE NIGHT While people still want to indulge in food and drink this season, the decline in alcohol consumption means more thought needs to go into the bottle you bring over for dinner. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is something everyone can enjoy and lasts beyond the night, giving you best guest points with your host. Also, if you’ve ever groaned in dis-


appointment when the fancy bottle of wine you’ve brought over gets whisked away to the cellar rather than opened and enjoyed, you don’t need to wor- ry about that with EVOO. Storing, ageing, or saving for a special occa- sion isn’t the done thing here — olive oil is best fresh, and liberal drizzling is encouraged.


THE GIFT OF HEALTH & FLAVOUR Amp up that hummus, bring green and herbal notes to a side salad, lift a rich stew with the vibrant aromas of EVOO, and even drizzle it over dessert. Ice cream or chocolate mousse with a little salt and EVOO are both absolute must- trys and Citizens of Soil’s Greek bottle


is the perfect pairing here. Indulgent, yes, but without sacrificing your health. Extra virgin olive oil is a vibrant, fresh product teeming with antioxidants and has proven health benefits; from improv- ing digestion to regulating blood sugar, supporting gut and heart health, and reducing inflammation. “I’d spend £15 on a nice bottle of wine


so I decided it was probably a whole lot better for my health to spend it on olive oil”— Citizens of Soil review


OLIVE OIL ISN’T JUST FOR CHRISTMAS Bring a better bottle this festive season, but don’t stop there. For those who can’t get enough extra virgin, Citizens of Soil has an Olive Oil Club. Members get an exclusive drop of fresh EVOO from a new producer every month, delivered in a handy pouch that fits


through


the letterbox. Decanted into one of its glass bot-


tles or its recently launched bespoke ceramic olive oil pourer, it’s the ideal way to stay stocked up on the good stuff while supporting independent, regen- erative producers and exploring new flavour profiles.
