Description
This Pugliese extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively from Peranzana olives. It offers a balanced profile that is approachable and versatile compared to the more intense oils of southern Italy.
Craft & Origin
Frantoio Scisci produces this oil in Monopoli using fruit from northern Puglia. The Peranzana variety was brought to Italy from France and has become a staple of regional agriculture. The Scisci family uses a modern milling process to extract the oil immediately after the harvest. This speed prevents oxidation and ensures the oil retains its fresh qualities. The result is a clean oil focused on fruitiness and structural balance rather than heavy bitterness. This technical precision preserves the integrity of the olive from grove to bottle.
Flavor & Texture
On the nose, this peranzana gives notes of tomato leaves, apple, and basil. On the palate you will find notes of celery and lettuce with a characteristic spiciness and subtle bitterness, making this a very approachable, nuanced, and balanced oil.
How to Use
Drizzle over white fish, green salads, tuna tartar, fresh tomatoes, or grilled chicken.
