What is Frantoio oil?

Frantoio oil is made from the olive variety of the same name, traditionally associated with Tuscany. Its presence in Spanish olive groves allows us to see how this olive expresses itself in different soils and growing conditions.

Although the variety originated in Italy, a Frantoio made from olives grown in Spain is a Spanish oil. It's important to distinguish between the two when choosing: the variety indicates which olive is used, while the origin identifies its geographical source.

When made exclusively from this olive, we are talking about a Frantoio monovarietal oil, a great way to discover its characteristics and compare them with those of other varieties.

What does Frantoio olive oil taste like?

Frantoio EVOO usually offers vegetal and fruity aromas that may recall grass, green almonds, apples, or artichokes. On the palate, it combines sweet, bitter, and spicy sensations, with an intensity that varies from one production to another.

Not all Frantoio oils are mild, nor do they all have an intense character. Some stand out for their delicate balance; others have a more pronounced bitterness or a lingering spiciness. The harvest time, growing area, and processing methods all influence these differences.

Read the tasting notes for each product to choose the profile you're looking for. If you want to learn more about the variety, trying two products from different producers can help you discover its diversity.

How to enjoy Frantoio oil in the kitchen

Using it uncooked allows you to clearly appreciate its aromas. Start with a simple piece of toast and then try different combinations:

• Bread and tomatoes: a preparation that lets the oil take center stage.
• Salads and vegetables: pair it with fresh ingredients, roasted vegetables, and grilled dishes.
• Pasta and rice: a drizzle at the end adds aroma without complicating the recipe.
• Cold creams and soups: add subtle nuances just before serving.
• Fish and meat: choose the amount based on the oil's intensity and the dish's flavor.

You can also incorporate it into your recipes. For delicate ingredients, choose a moderate profile; when you want the oil to stand out, select a product with more character.

Spanish Frantoio in different formats

In this category, you can compare Frantoio oils from Spanish producers, with different profiles and presentations. A small bottle lets you try a new production or alternate it with other oils. If you already have a favorite, a larger format may better suit your regular consumption.

When choosing, consider the sensory description, origin, and price per liter. If you're looking for organic or early-harvest Frantoio, check that this feature is indicated on the product page.
