Giorgio Franci, appointed a Hero of Made in Italy by Gambero Rosso, is an internationally recognized protagonist of the Italian food culture. Frantoio Maremmano is father to many excellent oils, including the Frantoio Franci Olivastra Seggianese extra virgin olive oil, thanks to Giorgio’s work philosophy: to make high quality extra virgin olive oil something that is accessible to all. The product is a monocultivar of Olivastra Seggianese, obtained from centuries-old olive groves in the area of Seggiano on Monte Amiata. This extra virgin olive oil is part of the "Selezioni" line, in which we find the excellence of Frantoio Franci’s production: we like this product because it is an emblem of quality and elegance, due to its delicate olive aroma with hints of both vegetable and fruity, able to make us taste the typical hills of Val d‘Orcia.
Tasting Notes
Olivastra Seggianese oil is an intense limpid golden yellow color with greenish nuances. Its aroma is ample and enveloping, with hints of artichoke and chicory, flanked by balsamic notes of mint, rosemary and sage. The mouthfeel is fine and complex, with tones of lettuce and hints of almond, cinnamon and black pepper. Marked bitterness and strong spiciness.
