Cultivation and Territory
Our olive groves extend over approximately 18 hectares on the slopes overlooking the Arno Valley, at an altitude between 450 and 520 meters above sea level. The steep slopes and ideal microclimate offer optimal conditions for producing a balanced, aromatic oil.
The company has been certified organic for over thirty years, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to protecting the environment and enhancing the local area. Every stage, from harvesting to pressing, is carried out with the utmost care to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit.
Sensory Characteristics
1° Franto oil is distinguished by its bright, clear golden yellow color and its intense aroma reminiscent of freshly cut grass. On the palate, it is lively and harmonious, with a pleasant balance between bitterness and spiciness, and spicy notes that enrich the aftertaste. The low acidity level ensures excellent quality and stability over time.
Food Pairings
Ideal served raw, it enhances the authenticity of fresh vegetables, legumes, and soups, but it also pairs perfectly with more complex dishes such as red meats and traditional Italian cuisine.
