橄欖 '弗蘭托伊奧'

I planted this olive tree in a large pot on my patio, and it's already putting out new growth after just two weeks. The leaves have a lovely silvery-green shimmer that catches the morning light beautifully. Can't wait to try pressing some oil from my own Frantoio olives someday.

I opened the bottle and immediately caught that distinct Tuscan fruitiness I’ve been missing since my last trip. It’s even more aromatic than I expected, and a little goes a long way in salads.

That first pour smelled like a sun-warmed Tuscan grove — the aroma alone is worth it. It’s noticeably heavier and more peppery than my usual grocery-store oil, and a little goes a long way on salad greens.
