Frantoi Cutrera Segreto Degli Iblei - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Sicilian D.O.P Certified Italian, Pure 2022/23 Early Harvest First Cold Pressed, High In Polyphenols, 24.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Frantoi Cutrera, a brand with a heritage dating back to 1906, invites you to enjoy the scents and flavors of the Mediterranean right at home. Located in the southernmost region of Italy, where nature ripens earlier and better, the Cutrera family has been cultivating olive groves in southeastern Sicily since 1906. Their first frantoio (olive oil mill) was established in 1979, and the family-run company now owns 75 hectares of groves in the Monti Iblei territory.

Recognized as the most awarded olive oil producer in Italy, with over 600 accolades, Frantoi Cutrera takes pride in its legacy. The family began cultivating and caring for the olive trees of Chiaramonte Gulfi in 1906, where these trees have grown spontaneously for a millennium, giving life to one of the most celebrated PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) olive oils.

Frantoi Cutrera's extra virgin olive oils are crafted from the heart of Southeastern Sicily, where the Iblei mountains meet the sea, and the olives ripen in harmony with the Mediterranean breezes. Driven by the treasured heritage and principles passed down from their forefathers, the Cutrera family is passionate about sharing the authentic taste of Italy and the joy of home-cooked meals with the world.

Frantoi Cutrera's EVOO is made exclusively from green olives, using a two-phase cold extraction technique that selects and processes only the best olives with the perfect pressing method, kneading, and extraction for each variety. The result is an oil with a distinct fruitiness and a well-balanced bitter and spicy flavor, ideal for cooking, frying, grilling, sautéing, and even baking.

The Selezione Segreto Degli Iblei Frescolio, awarded the World's Best Olive Oil for 2021 in the World Olive Oil Competition and New York International Olive Oil Competition, is a testament to the Cutrera family's dedication. This extra virgin olive oil is obtained exclusively from the local Sicilian olive variety and by cold extraction, solely by mechanical means. The special microclimate of the Iblei Mountains gives the oil its unmistakable trait of intense fresh fruit, with tones of green tomato and aromatic green herbs, finishing notes of almond and artichoke, creating a unique harmony between its bitter, spicy, and sweet elements.

Whether you're marinating fish, sautéing mushrooms, or grilling delicate red meats, Frantoi Cutrera's extra virgin olive oils will elevate your Mediterranean cuisine and delight your taste buds with authentic flavors from the heart of Sicily, Italy.
