Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This award-winning monocultivar extra virgin olive oil is made using only Coratina olives and has initial notes of dill, fennel, artichoke and pepper with a spicy but balanced finish. The Coratina olive is native to Puglia and boasts high levels of polyphenols which contribute to both the flavor of the olive oil and the health benefits. Frantoio Muraglia, operated for five generations by the Muraglia family, prioritizes preserving the biodiversity of the agricultural landscape of Puglia and protecting the olive trees which are so vital to their company. Following ancient Italian tradition, the olives are harvested by hand and crushed using a stone mill. All of Frantoio Muraglias extra virgin olive oils are monocultivar, meaning they are made from a single variety of olive, either Peranzana or Coratina olives, both native to the region. To preserve its rich flavor and aroma and protect it from sunlight, the extra-virgin olive oil is bottled for us in a hand-painted ceramic container that can be enjoyed as a vase or serving vessel after the oil is finished.
