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.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.3
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3.1
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3.5
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 7
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.
