Frantoio

River Estate Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil uses Italian Frantoio olives. This oil features vibrant notes of green apple, black pepper, and a hint of citrus, balanced by herbaceous undertones. The peppery finish makes it an excellent choice for enhancing dukkah, dipping fresh bread, or pairing with robust cheeses. A versatile addition to any kitchen, offering exceptional quality and character.

Oil Character

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Auckland, North Island, New Zealand.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originAuckland, North Island, New Zealand
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.
