Frantoio Franci – Award-Winning Tuscan Olive Oil
Our long-standing partner Frantoio Franci, one of Italy’s most celebrated producers, once again impressed us with their latest offerings.

The newly launched Single Variety Coratina scored an outstanding 100 points in the 2021 edition of Flos Olei. This intense, powerful oil is a connoisseur’s delight — expect complex, well-balanced bitter and spicy notes with a long, harmonious finish. We particularly loved it drizzled over roasted butternut squash soup.

The beloved Toscano IGP continues its winning streak, adding another Gold Medal from the 2020 New York International Olive Oil Competition. This elegant, medium fruity Tuscan olive oil is ideal for fresh salads — try it with ripe tomatoes and mozzarella for an authentic Mediterranean experience.

Picual — widely recognised as one of the world’s finest olive oils, continues to garner gold medals in the most prestigious global competitions.

Arbequina and Frantoio complete the collection, each bringing their own unique flavour profiles for a diverse tasting experience.
Domaine Fendri – Exceptional Tunisian Olive Oil
In Tunisia, our partner Domaine Fendri faced an unusually warm autumn, delaying their harvest until late November — a critical factor in developing the distinct fruitiness of their oils.
-
The new Chemlali extra virgin olive oil from the 2020/2021 harvest is beautifully balanced, with complex flavours, a lingering finish, and a subtle bitterness. We recommend enjoying it simply with fresh vegetables or artisan sourdough bread to truly appreciate its nuanced character.

Domaine Fendri’s excellence is widely recognised — they were a finalist in the 2020 Mario Solinas International Olive Oil Competition.
