Frantoio

The varietal olive oil Frantoio is a highly valued, top-quality olive oil which stands out thanks to its light green colour, its fruity aroma with a dominant taste of green olives, almonds and aromatic herbs, its moderate bitterness and strong spiciness. Such a dominant oil is the best addition to dishes of intense taste and aroma such as beefsteak, truffles, venison, goose liver, spicy and hard cheeses and wild asparagus, with which a new and magical combination of tasting pleasures is created.

This variety also complements marinated tuna, mushroom salad, oven-cooked fish, roasted red meat and mature cheeses.

It is a highly valued variety due to its exceptional oil quality. If the harvest is done when the fruits are wine-red in colour, it gives the oil a pronounced fruity scent of olive fruits, as well as a pleasant bitterness and spiciness. The fruits of this variety can also be used for canning.
