Frantoia Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Cold Pressed

Frantoia Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands as a quintessential representative of Sicilian culinary tradition. This unfiltered olive oil, derived from the very first pressing, is a symphony of fruity, spicy, and green flavors, reflective of the rich terroir of Sicily. The oil is a blend of three distinct olive varieties – biancolilla, nocellara, and cerasuola, each contributing to its unique taste profile. This versatility makes it an ideal companion for salads and a universal choice for various cooking methods.

Taste is at the heart of Frantoia’s appeal. The Sicilian olive oil delights the taste buds with its fruity and sweet flavor, imbued with a subtle hint of almond. It carries a spicy aroma and presents a warm green color with golden-yellow reflections, a visual and sensory treat.

The production process of Frantoia Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a testament to its quality and authenticity. The olives are hand-harvested and milled within 24 hours from harvest, typically from October to December. The oil is continuously extracted and separated by centrifuge, allowing it to settle and then decanted naturally without being filtered. This process ensures the preservation of its natural flavors and aromatic qualities.

Originating from the surrounding hillsides of West-Central Sicily, the oil is made from the best quality Sicilian olives, including Biancolilla, Nocellara del Belice, and Cerasuola. These olives are known for their superior quality and distinctive flavors, making Frantoia a multiple award-winning, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.

Frantoia is more than just an ingredient; it’s an enhancement to dishes. Whether drizzled over seafood, fresh cheeses, vegetable soups, or mixed salads, its fruity flavor elevates the dish. It also serves wonderfully as a bread dipping oil or when drizzled over pasta, grilled vegetables, and meat dishes, making it a staple for those who appreciate authentic, high-quality ingredients.
