Frantoi Cutrera Selezione - Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Category: carapelli olive oil
Established in 1906, Frantoi Cutrera is a family-run company located in the southernmost region of Italy, where the Mediterranean climate allows for earlier and better ripening of crops. For over a century, the Cutrera family has been cultivating olive groves in the southeast of Sicily, and their first frantoio (olive mill) was founded in 1979.
Over the years, Frantoi Cutrera has achieved a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, now owning 75 hectares of olive groves in the Monti Iblei territory. With an impressive tally of over 600 awards and recognitions, the company has become the most awarded olive oil producer in Italy.
The Cutrera family's olive oil production journey began in 1906, when they started cultivating and caring for the olive trees of Chiaramonte Gulfi, a territory where these trees have grown spontaneously for a millennium, yielding one of the most celebrated PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) olive oils.
What sets Frantoi Cutrera's products apart is their origin in the heart of Southeastern Sicily, where the Iblei mountains overlook the sea, and the olives ripen in harmony with the Mediterranean breezes. Guided by the treasured heritage left by their forefathers, the Cutrera family takes great pride in sharing the authentic taste of Italy and the joy of home-cooked meals with the world.
Frantoi Cutrera's EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) is made exclusively from green olives, using a two-phase cold extraction technique that selects and processes only the best olives, resulting in an oil with a distinct fruitiness and a well-balanced bitter and spicy flavor. This versatile EVOO is excellent for a wide range of culinary applications, from cooking and frying to grilling, sautéing, and even baking, allowing you to enhance your meals with the authentic flavors of Sicily.
Customers have consistently awarded Frantoi Cutrera's olive oils high ratings, with their Selezione Segreto degli Iblei, Frescolio, and other products receiving 4.7 to 4.8 out of 5 stars. These premium olive oils from the heart of Sicily are not only a delicious addition to your kitchen but also make for a thoughtful and authentic gift.
