Frantoio Monovarietal
Organic

Pressed from predominantly green olives on the first day of harvest at Frantoio Grove's San Martin farm, this day-lot oil is cold-extracted within hours using a fine grid to accentuate its grassy, pungent character. It offers aromas of fresh-cut grass, green almond and custardy fruit with savoury herb undertones, mild bitterness and a pronounced peppery finish. Great as a finishing oil for grilled vegetables.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvested 4 November 2025Harvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Suisun Valley, California, United States, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originSuisun Valley, California, United StatesSingle estate
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Frantoio as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.

Release dataFrantoio
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
