Frantoio Franci Moraiolo Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Premium Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Frantoio Franci Moraiolo Extra Virgin Olive Oil (250 ml) is one of the newest additions to the acclaimed CRU selection by Frantiolio Franci, joining prestigious oils such as Villa Magra, Olivastra Seggianese and Le Trebbiane. Produced at approximately 400 metres above sea level on the hills surrounding Montenero d’Orcia in Southern Tuscany, this exceptional olive oil embodies the power and elegance of the Moraiolo olive, one of Italy’s most characterful native cultivars.

The terroir of Montenero d’Orcia — with its mineral-rich soil, high altitude and Mediterranean climate — yields an oil of remarkable intensity and aromatic complexity. Early-harvest olives are cold-extracted at the Franci mill to preserve vibrant freshness, high polyphenol levels and full aromatic expression.

Intense & Complex Tasting Profile

This premium extra virgin olive oil is defined by an intense fruity profile and deep green aromas. On the nose, it reveals fresh and pungent herbaceous notes, rich with artichoke, chicory and hints of wild herbs, complemented by balsamic tones of mint and black pepper. On the palate, it is ample and powerful, delivering bold bitterness and spiciness in perfect balance. The finish is long and persistent, layered with flavours of artichoke, almond and dark leafy greens.

Gourmet Serving Suggestions

Ideal for dishes that deserve a bold finishing touch, such as:

  • Octopus carpaccio, tuna & rich seafood

  • Porcini mushrooms, lentils, beans, chickpeas & hearty soups

  • Red meats, stews, ragù & tomato sauces

  • Medium-aged cheeses including goat cheese and pecorino

A true condimento da chef, best enjoyed raw to appreciate its aromatic strength.
