Olive Oil - Frantoio

From carefully tended groves in eastern Tuscany, Podere Tovari produces this distinctive monocultivar Frantoio extra virgin olive oil. Made entirely from olives grown on the estate and carefully selected and brought to the UK by Amore GNA Wines, it showcases a more structured and characterful style, true to this classic Tuscan variety.

Frantoio is widely regarded as one of Italy’s finest olive cultivars, known for producing oils with depth, balance, and intensity. At Podere Tovari, the olives are carefully harvested and pressed quickly to preserve their freshness and natural complexity.

On the nose, it is vibrant and aromatic, with green notes of fresh grass, herbs, and a hint of artichoke. The palate is lively and well defined, with a natural bitterness and a distinct peppery finish, both clear indicators of quality and freshness. The texture is smooth yet structured, with a long, clean finish.

More assertive than Leccino, this is an oil designed to add character to food. It pairs particularly well with grilled meats, bruschetta, vegetables, and hearty soups, where its intensity can lift and sharpen flavours.

Produced on a small, organic estate where quality comes before quantity, this Frantoio reflects the consistency and care of Podere Tovari, an oil that is bold, balanced, and unmistakably Tuscan.
