Key Product Features

A perfect harmony of local olive varieties—Olivastro, Cima di Mola, Leccino, Coratina, Cima di Melfi, Picholine, Simona, and Nociara—creates the extra virgin olive oil by Frantoio D’Orazio. It has a light, fruity flavor, enhanced by notes of leaf and grass.

Light fruitiness, enhanced by vegetal hints of freshly cut green grass, oregano and fresh almonds. On the palate, bitterness and spiciness of slight intensity in balance.

The turquoise of the Apulian sea, which characterises this collection, here plays with a motif reminiscent of ice crystals. In an arid and poorly rainfed land like Apulia, ice has always been a valuable resource. The little snow that fell during the winter was collected and stored inside special cisterns, to be used later as a source of sustenance.The Apulians have known how to make the most of what nature offered them.The extra virgin oil produced from Apulian olive trees is an example of this.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

A light and fruity oil, the ideal condiment to enhance a dish without distorting or covering up the flavours. We recommend it for boiled potatoes, mozzarella, rice soups, pinzimonio, white meats, sauces, fennel velouté, risotto, jam tart, steamed and marinated fish.

Frantoio D’Orazio is surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and even more ancient peasant traditions. It's a place where the ancient ritual of extracting extra virgin olive oil has been carried out for three generations now. Francesco, like his uncle Peppino and his grandfather before him, carries on the family tradition with dedication to beauty and authentic goodness, in a land where time passes slowly. In a world where nature determines the rhythm of rural life, the annual ritual of harvesting olives is celebrated. Whether they're green, black, small, or large, today, as in the past, we harvest these precious fruits from our countryside with the same dedication and passion for all things good and genuine. The olives we select and process become the premium extra virgin olive oil that offers unforgettable moments of pleasure for the palate.
