Frantoio Monovarietal

Organic

The Il Fustino Frantoio Blend is a premium extra virgin olive oil from Santa Barbara, California, crafted from an organic blend of Frantoio, Leccino, Maurino, Pendolino and a small amount of Coratina olive varieties. This beautifully balanced oil presents a wonderfully fruity character with characteristic pungency and pleasant bitterness, delivering fresh notes of apples followed by a peppery finish. Ideal as a finishing oil, drizzle over pasta, rice and potatoes to enhance dishes with its sophisticated flavour profile. Excellent when paired with blackberry balsamic or pear champagne vinegar for a complete tasting experience.
