Frantoio oil offers a delicate, aromatic experience with citrus blossom, artichoke, and a gentle peppery edge. The single varietal Frantoio olives are harvested early and cold extracted to maintain a bright, green fruit character. Ideal for light salads, seafood, or as a finishing drizzle on grilled asparagus. This EVOO reflects the classic Italian heritage of the Frantoio cultivar, adapted to New Zealand terroir.
