Frantoio (South Africa)

Medium

Crush Date: May 2023

This is one of the finest Frantoio olive oils we have ever tasted!

The aroma has nuanced floral overtones and ample fresh-cut-grass. The mouthfeel is of medium-robust intensity with strong pungency, moderate bitterness, and extreme fruitiness. 

The oil has many complexities including mild ripe fruit flavors of apple, butter, and nuttiness that balance the spicy green herbal flavors of green grass, artichoke, green apple, mint, cinnamon, and black pepper.  Simply fabulous!
