The Olive Oil Club
There are several foodie clubs, accessible online, that promise regular deliveries of their wares - cheese, chocolate and of course wine - they always sound great until you come to the subscription! The Olive Oil Club promises to deliver “up to three 500ml bottles of ultra fresh extra virgin olive oil four times a year after each harvest to your door”.
Sounds good - personally sourced limited edition or small production olive oils from around the world, sent as fresh as possible soon after harvest. This service costs not far of 200 quid though! (£194.85 EURO 287.87 USD 382.88)
The club is an off-shoot of The Olive Trail a shop and internet shop specialising in all things Olive Oil. Which basically is just olive oil and some tat made from olive wood. Their shop is a stone’s throw from the British Museum. The website offers just a couple of oils though which seems disappointing.

Hi Andrew
Thank you for your write up - shame you did not come in for a tutored tasting that has changed the lives of many. Balsamic to die for! By the way we are the only stockists of the life giving olive leaf elixir in the UK - now been cited in many medical circles.

We specialise in ultra fresh olive oil and only that, the diference is amazing. Quantity and variety does sometimes mask quality! Our site will only show the tastiest few and we do not show private club member oils. Most olive oils in this country are old and quite frankly stale!! Even years and years old.
By the way the tat in olive wood is handmade by me in “wild Greek olive wood” beware of your ignorant intonations least I take offense.
Cheers
PS We are now in Somerset and can be found on wednesdays Farmers Market in Wells - drop by if you like.
