Frantoio is the cornerstone of classic Tuscan olive oil and one of the most respected varieties in the world, planted from Italy to Australia, Argentina and California. Its oil is the model of balance: fresh-cut grass, artichoke and green almond, with green-fruit aromatics and a harmonious bitterness and pepper that linger without overwhelming. It is the variety most often meant by 'a good Italian extra virgin', and it blends beautifully with the softer Leccino.
Balanced and classic: fresh grass, artichoke and green almond, clean bitter-pungent close.
Harvested from late October through December across central Italy. Buy the freshest crop you can find — and check the harvest date on the bottle.
