Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Frantoio Grove

2021 Harvest Single-Varietal Olive Oil from California

Tasting notes

Made entirely from the Frantoio olive variety, this extra virgin olive oil is bold with notes of persimmon, green banana, and freshly cut grass. A robust-intensity oil. 

Frantoio Grove refers to this olive oil as their "pride and joy" and takes great care to preserve its integrity. First, the olives are milled immediately after harvest, then the filtered oil is stored in an oxygen-free environment until it gets bottled in small batches. 

How to use

This bottle is a staple on our table for finishing our favorite dishes. The oil's pleasant bitterness and rich herbal notes stand up to bigger, bolder flavors—use to garnish slices of seared steak, drizzle over grilled radicchio or pour over earthy buckwheat polenta and top with plenty of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
