Do you already know everything about our oil?
What is a multivarietal oil?
A multi-varietal 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 – a light fruitiness, with notes of fresh grass and artichoke – and greater quality consistency in each production.
How do you best store extra virgin olive oil?
To best preserve the organoleptic qualities of our extra virgin olive oil, it is important to store it in a cool place (ideally between 14-20 °C), away from direct light, heat sources, and in a closed container (dark glass or tin) to prevent 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 a cellar or pantry rather than on warm shelves or in direct sunlight.
Why do our bottles have such a unique design?
Frantoio D'Orazio's packaging design stems from the desire to combine aesthetics and local identity: our collections (such as "Mediterranea Collection", "Opera Collection", "Aqua Collection") use motifs inspired by Apulian majolica, Mediterranean art, the sea, and even works by artists, transforming the bottle into a design object as well as an oil container.
This aims to enhance Puglia's visual heritage, differentiate the product on the shelf, and make the oil also a gift or collector's item, where form and content mutually support each other.
When will I receive my order?
For orders within Italy, deliveries are normally made within 7 business days of order confirmation.

However, we advise you to check for any specific communications at the time of your order – for example during periods of high activity – to get an updated estimate.
