Frantoio Olive Oil, made from the Italian Frantoio olive variety hand picked from local trees in Lodi, California. A modern Californian twist on a Italian classic. This extra virgin olive oil delivers a robust and peppery flavour profile, featuring aromatic fruity notes and a subtle hint of green apple, culminating in a slightly strong, lingering aftertaste that excites the palate. Perfect for drizzling over vibrant salads, enhancing roasted vegetables, or infusing bold depth into any culinary creation, it pairs exceptionally well with dishes that benefit from its intense, versatile character.

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.

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.

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

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.
