About Melgarejo 'Frantoio' Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml)
This was one of my favourite olive oils from the Melgarejo range. If you love bold, fresh flavours with real personality, you're going to adore this bottle. Melgarejo Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil bursts with aromas of freshly cut grass, wild herbs and green almond, before finishing with an elegant peppery spice that lingers beautifully on the palate. It is vibrant, layered and incredibly moreish.
"Frantoio is one of the world's most celebrated olive varieties, traditionally associated with Italy but producing exceptional results in the olive groves of Jaén in southern Spain. Known for its freshness, complexity and herbaceous character, it creates an extra virgin olive oil that is both expressive and beautifully balanced. Cold extracted within hours of harvest, every bottle captures the purity of the fruit and the remarkable quality of the olives.
