Frantoi Cutrera Primo Cold Extracted Italian EVOO – Sicilian DOP, Polyphenol Rich, 25.4 oz

Discover Primo: Cold Extracted Italian EVOO from Sicily

From the sun-drenched groves of Chiaramonte Gulfi in southeastern Sicily, Frantoi Cutrera Primo is crafted from a single olive variety, the Tonda Iblea. This oil displays a green with golden reflections and an intensely fruity character that opens with a lively aroma and a lingering, nuanced finish. The Primo designation reflects an early green harvest and a careful cold extraction, delivering a vibrant olive oil experience that is both versatile and expressive.

Primo is produced using only the early green harvest of the Tonda Iblea olives and is cold pressed within six hours of picking. The olives are organically farmed, highlighting a commitment to natural cultivation and careful processing. This combination yields a polyphenol-rich oil with a fresh, aromatic profile that speaks to its Sicilian roots and the hands that guide it from tree to bottle.
