An oil with a bold character and complex personality, obtained from the Cima di Melfi cultivar—a variety native to the Vulture area and introduced to Puglia over 50 years ago—which today represents a unique product in the world of extra virgin olive oils. The limited distribution of this cultivar and the difficulties involved in its production contribute to making it a treasure sought after by lovers of high-end olive oils.

Do you already know everything about our oil?

What is a multivarietal oil?

A multivarietal oil (or “blend”) is obtained by pressing together several olive cultivars, selected for their complementary characteristics: in our case we include varieties such as Olivastro, Cima di Mola, Leccino, Coratina, Picholine, Simona and Nociara.

This approach allows for a more complex and balanced aromatic profile—light fruitiness, with notes of fresh grass and artichoke—and greater consistency of quality in each production.

How is extra virgin olive oil best preserved?

To preserve the organoleptic qualities of our extra virgin olive oil as much as possible, it is important to store it in a cool place (ideally between 14-20°C), away from direct light, away from heat sources, and in a closed container (dark glass or tin) to avoid oxidation and degradation.

Daily use requires that, once opened, the oil be consumed within a reasonable time: the aroma and flavor will be at their best if prolonged exposure to air is avoided, and the oil should be kept in the cellar or pantry rather than on hot shelves or in sunlight.

Why do our bottles have such a unique design?

The design of Frantoio D'Orazio's packaging stems from the desire to combine aesthetics and territorial identity: our lines (such as the "Mediterranea Collection," "Opera Collection," and "Aqua Collection") use motifs inspired by Apulian majolica, Mediterranean art, the sea, and even artists' works, transforming the bottle into a design object as well as a container for the oil.

This aims to enhance Puglia's visual heritage, differentiate the product on the shelf, and make the oil a great gift or collectible, where form and content complement each other.
