Frescolio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced in the first days of October using the first olives of the year. These olives are still green, are the most flavorful, and have the highest level of antioxidants at this time. Olives from trees near the Mediterranean Sea are handpicked so that the olives are not damaged before being cold-pressed. The olives arrive at the mill for pressing within 6 hours of being harvested. The olive oil is bottled directly after extraction so that the fresh flavor and aroma are preserved.Since 1906 the Cutrera family has been cultivating olive groves in the southeast of Sicily. Their first frantoio was founded in 1979. They have created the perfect balance of tradition with innovation and the family-run company now owns 75 hectares of groves in the Monti Iblei territory. With over 350 awards, Frantoi Cutrera is the most awarded Olive Oil producer in Italy.Enjoy the scents and flavors of the Mediterranean at home!
