Olive Harvest: 2024 – 2025
 

Monocultivar Collection — Leccino

Almost extinct due to its low yield, the ancient Leccino olive variety has been recovered by Frantoio D'Orazio.
A unique taste experience, just like in the old days.

Organoleptic profile

Medium intensity fruitiness with hints of spices and aromatic herbs. On the palate, medium intensity bitterness and spiciness emerge, in perfect balance.

Food pairing

To best appreciate the aromatic notes of Leccino, it is recommended to dress raw foods and add the oil at the end of cooking
- Fresh vegetable salads or mixed lettuce
- Light soups and purées (such as cream of zucchini or carrot)
- Steamed or grilled fish
- Fresh cheeses such as ricotta or mozzarella
- Bruschetta with tomato and basil
The Leccino variety is also suitable for making oil for cooking, as it has a pleasant aroma and a slightly bitter taste.

Tipologia confezione: Glass bottle

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.
