Gold Medal Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1L

Our Gold Medal Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1L has a delicious, full of flavour taste that goes well with all foods!

Whether it be as an hors-d’oeuvre and dipping bread into it with your pre-dinner drink.  It can be a toasted drizzle on some bruschetta, or gently warmed over your olives … Mmmm And then perfection as a dressing over salads, pastas, steamed vegetables, fish, or drizzled over potatoes or rice.

And psst! It can be the secret ingredient for dessert!  Drizzle this liquid gold over some plain ice cream!!

One of the most popular varieties in the world, especially in its homeland Italy. We bring a taste of New Zealand to this delicious Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A gold medal confirms a perfectly balanced oil, fruitiness, a little bitterness and some pungency and this has it all.

With a fresh and fruity aroma, on the palate, it has a full flavour fruity taste but at the same time some spicy and savoury notes, followed by a long lingering peppery aftertaste.

We both hand pick and machine pick our Frantoio Olives and take them to a purposely food registered olive press.

At the press they are processed by using mechanical cold press extraction technology creating a “first press” without the use of any solvents or refining techniques. This is what makes the Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1L amazing.

Each year a selection of our finest Olive Oil is submitted to the Olive New Zealand EVOO Olive Oil Awards and the  2021 Frantoio returned “SILVER” in 2022 and 2021, and “GOLD” in 2020.

So popular are our 250ml and 500ml bottles that by popular demand we have created the 1 Litre ‘Bag in Box’!  Just like a wine box, the oil is dispensed by a tap, … an easy and convenient way to store in your pantry and dispense direct to your plate.

It is the ultimate for storage as there is NO POSSIBILTY of spoiling from light or air!
