Out of stockExtra virgin olive oil Frantoia is produced from the olive trees planted in the western Central Hills of Sicily. Three varieties of olives: Nocellara, Cerasuola and Biancolilla are used for this oil. Handpicked from the trees, they are sent daily to the olive press, where they are carefully crushed by traditional granite grinders. A cold centrifuge system is used for extraction guaranteeing maximum hygiene. Tradition and advance technology are joined together in the production of this elegant full bodied gold green olive oil, with a rich aroma, delicate fruity flavour and a slight aftertaste of sweet almonds. In order to appreciate it at its best, we suggest using it raw on fish, fresh cheese, salad, vegetables and bread.

Lucinasco, perched on a hill at about 500 m, is one of the most beautiful villages in the Valley of Oneglia in the western Riviera Ligure. Its olive groves, which spread out below the village on traditional, characteristic terraces, are composed exclusively of Taggiasca olive trees. The yield is lower than other groves in the valley, however, probably due to their particularly favourable position, the composition of the soil and the altitude, the olive groves of Lucinasco produce an extra virgin olive oil of excellent, unrivaled quality, famous throughout Italy for its delicate taste. Our new selection “Riviera Ligure PDO Lucinasco” is obtained from olives produced in the groves of Lucinasco and pressed in our oil mill. Cold produced and bottled unfiltered, after a period of natural decantation. The elegantly wrapped bottle ensures complete protection against light for a better preservation of the organoleptic characteristics of the product. On the label, we state the total quantity of certificated oil for the year of harvest. 100% Italian oil

In 1760 great-great-grandfather Francesco Calogiuri was a cook to a noble family in Lizzanello, whose surname was Chiurlia. As cook for this family, Francesco employed a dense cooked grape must to bring out the full flavour of the local cuisine. The same grape must was also used as a medical restorative remedy. In the beginning of the 19th century, after the Chiurlias family moved to Naples, Pietro Calogiuri, Francesco Calogiuri’s son, became a small local olive oil producer, whilst at the same time perfecting the recipe of his cooked grape must. In 1825 Leonardo Calogiuri, Pietro Calogiuri’s son, opened a small business selling olive oil and wines. During this period he began to use, for his own family’s use, the cooked grape must handed down from his father, and called it “Vincotto”. This tradition has, since 1825, passed through six generations to the present day. About twelve years ago Gianni Calogiuri, a direct descendant of Francesco Calogiuri’s, using the family’s very long aged stock of “Vincotto®”, decided to develop and commercialize the product. He also registered the name “Vincotto®”
