Poggio ai Laghi Organic Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a monovarietal oil obtained exclusively from Frantoio olives, one of Tuscany’s most representative cultivars. Produced on the Tuscan coast in Venturina, it comes from hand-harvesting tree by tree, a long and demanding process that ensures very high quality. It is presented in a 250 ml cylindrical bottle and carries organic certification.
Olives are harvested in the first two weeks of October and milled within a maximum of 10 hours from picking. Cold extraction yields an extra virgin olive oil with acidity below 0.8%. This process keeps acidity extremely low, 0.2 mg/kg, while maintaining a high polyphenol concentration of about 400 mg/kg, responsible for antioxidant benefits.
On the nose it shows fresh, clean herbaceous notes, with a slight chili-pepper hint on the finish, always well balanced and never aggressive.
On the palate it is harmonious and delicate, a trait that makes it suitable even for children. Notes of artichoke, almond, and cabbage unfold with balance in an elegant, well-defined flavor profile.
Ideal as a finishing oil on salads, white meats, and cheeses. A versatile oil meant for everyday use, yet able to elevate more refined dishes.
