Shoppers are insisting that a £22.50 extra virgin olive oil is better than anything in the supermarket and that it's a 'great gift' for the foodie in your life.
Citizens of Soil have currently got two extra virgin olive oils on the market and they pride themselves with working directly with female farmers that practise regenerative agriculture in their groves.
Their Portuguese Single Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil has found itself quite popular, the brand stocks two oils at the moment with one being 'for the kitchen' and their Portuguese option being better suited 'for the table'.
It has been described as having a palate of green almonds, pine seeds, dried fruit. Ana, the producer of the oil, recommends it over a tomato soup or spaghetti alle vongole - as well as in a martini.
The oil has been described as better than anything available in supermarkets and delicatessens and some people even eat it drizzled across ice cream for an authentic taste of Europe.

Coming in a beautiful glass bottle, this makes a brilliant one time gift for those who treat food as an art, but there's also a subscription option available so you don't have to worry about running out.
The refillable pouches of oil come in pouches that fit right through the letterbox, and Citizens of Soil also take back empties to create a more circular model.
One shopper wrote: "Wonderfully presented in a delightfully designed bottle and label with an easy refill to use once empty. The quality of the oil sourced supersedes anything I’ve purchased from a supermarket or delicatessen.
"Also makes a great gift for that foodie in your life!"
A second said: "Lovely oil ideal for dressings or drizzling. Highly recommended. Will definitely buy again."
Speaking about the Greek olive oil described as 'for the kitchen', one shopper penned: "Amazing EVOO tastes great, tried as a salad dressing first. Wow! Made me remember holidays in Greece as a teenager!"
