Chance of a drizzle.
Let's dive into those flavors:
- Alive has tasting notes of green pear with nutty overtones, making it great for salads, marinades, and dipping.
- Awake has a grassier, more plucky profile, perfect for soups, pastas, and roasted vegetables.
- Lucid is a zesty blend crafted from Frantoio olives & lemons. Try it in pound cake, muffins, or even cocktails.
- Arise is the herbaceous cousin of the bunch. Frantoio olives and basil make it an A+ pick for pesto.
- Ardor adds a bold heat to pizza, dips, and cheese plates, thanks to the paprika, red chili, jalepeño, and chipotle peppers inside.

Unlike most, Brightland extra virgin olive oils are single origin—pressed at an organic mill in California right where they’re harvested! (They say you can literally taste the sun in each bottle and, well, we’d have to agree.) The so-pretty bottle is just an added bonus, but it makes us want to eat *all* the salad.

Oil is from 2020
I purchased this olive oil as a christmas gift. I fell for the hype of Brightland, their claims of selling the freshest olive oil possible. However, upon receiving my oil on Nov 2, 2021, i noticed a harvest date of Nov, 2020 - I received oil processed a year ago. On the insert of the product, Brightland advises that the shelf life on their oils is 16 months, bringing the shelf life of my oil to March, 2021.
Customer service through Food52 was responsive, and reached out to the vendor to address my concern. However, the vendor pushed back, saying that the shelf life is actually June, 2022, and I'm just supposed to accept that. Because it was a final sale, I was unable to return. I think Food52 should reconsider working with a company that claims that most other olive oils on the market are rancid, when this company charges a premium for product that's probably close to rancid.
Sooooo good!
This olive oil is SO good. Just the right amount of basil flavor. Super tasty. Beautiful packaging, too; can make for a lovely gift.
Doesn't smell lemon and basil
The reason that I bought these items, lemon and basil infused oil, I love those natural smell of lemon and basil but I smell just little hint of them. Disappointed..
