نادي بستان الزيتون

A few friends and I split a membership, and each month’s bottle has been a real standout—the olive oil from the small producer this month is fruitier than anything at the grocery store. It’s made me look forward to simple salads and bread dipping in a whole new way.

The first shipment arrived with a tasting guide that actually taught me how to pick out grassy notes versus peppery ones. The bottle from a small Sonoma producer was so fresh I felt like I was back in wine country.

I was skeptical about a monthly olive oil club until my first bottle arrived, but the tasting notes Sara includes make it feel like a mini wine-country tour in my kitchen. The monthly surprise from small producers is my favorite ritual now.
