Frantoio is a classic Italian olive cultivar celebrated for its balance, elegance, and expressive aromatics. The oil opens with well-balanced aromas of green and half-ripe fruit, alongside distinctive notes of almonds, green banana and subtle hints of creamed spinach.
On the palate, it reveals a nutty character with pleasant bitterness and a lively pungency reminiscent of fresh radish, creating a harmonious oil with excellent persistence.
Pairings: Its balanced yet expressive structure makes it particularly well-suited to salads, grilled fish such as yellowtail, chicken, steak, and vibrant dishes like thinly sliced pineapple with crushed pink peppercorns.
