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.

Oil Character
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Santa Barbara, California, United States.
Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.
Single variety listed
The latest release lists Frantoio as its only recorded cultivar.
A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.
One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
Growing choices
The oil records certification to an organic production standard.
Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.
Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
