Citizens of Soil Spanish Aromatic Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 375ml Glass Bottle

The unmistakeable aroma of fresh basil, herbal and peppery. Perfect with burrata and tomato salads, or even on peaches or melon. Our Aromatic oils are made as you would a top-quality extra virgin olive oil, but instead of infusing ingredients in olive oil, our Spanish producer mills whole ingredients simultaneously with the olives, resulting in unparalleled freshness of flavour.

Co-milled fresh basil and olives, within hours of the olive harvest and without any chemicals, heat, or additives. Just the vibrancy of fresh basil.

Origin: Andalucía, Spain

This bottle is made the award-winning producers behind our Spanish extra virgin olive oil: the Segura Gómez family from Andalucía in Spain.

The middle of 3 daughters in a multi-generational olive oil family, Marina set off on a journey to study the technical quality behind producing the best EVOOs.

When she returned home, she discovered her family’s Spanish olive oil just wasn’t good enough.

So she shut it down and started over. From a new mobile milling machine for precision quality to converting the groves organic—she overhauled everything.

And as a result, she turned her family business from just another olive oil into something outstanding, scooping up awards and recognition in just a couple of years.

Exploring the world of high-quality EVOOs and now aromatic oils made with regional ingredients, Marina and her incredible team continue to raise the bar on what olive oil can be.

Harvest: November 2025

Polyphenols: 436mg/kg Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never heat or chemical) means.

Bottle Size: 375ml

About Citizens of Soil.

Michael met Maria on a boat between Santorini and Crete. Her overwhelming Cretan hospitality (which they’re famous for) struck up an instant friendship. Maria came to visit London; Michael returned many times to Greece (soon with the addition of Sarah) and the friendship and ‘extended’ family grew.

With each year and every new visit, we learned more about the culture, the people, the land.

The family are small-holder farmers, making things like wine and fruits, but we became obsessed with the quality and flavour of the oil, in particular.

We started bringing it back for our family and friends in London and the US. Every time we used it, the taste connected us back to Maria's table in Crete. Our friends would try it and re-affirm; there's something special here, y'all...

Our community begins with the farmers. For too long, they’ve been taken advantage of by the olive oil industry—squeezed out of fair profit to fit the global commodity exchange and their oil blended with others so it’s beyond recognition.

We pay our producers above market prices, and directly into their pockets. 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.

This is just one way we’re challenging the status quo of the olive oil industry.

You, dear subscriber, gifter and first-time buyer are also a part of this community. Not only does our extra virgin olive oil look beautiful displayed in your kitchen or sitting on the table, it’s also represents your respect for farmers, the environment and your own food experience.

Together, we can learn more with each harvest and enjoy delicious olive oil on more of the food we love.
