Frantoia - Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Nonna's Pantry presents Frantoia Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Sicily.

Our best selling oil, this one can do it all, from drizzling on fine steaks, and making salad dressings.

The Frantoia brand was created in the early 1980's and has become one of the most popular "Gourmet Olive Oils" available. This olive oil is the perfect blend of three varieties of Sicilian Olives: the delicate Biancolilla, the tasty Nocellara and the robust Cerasuola. These varieties create a beautifully-fragrant and extremely pleasant-tasting oil. This phenomenal oil has a delicate, fruity flavor that is reminiscent of fresh olives and ends with a pleasant aftertaste of sweet almonds.
