Frantoi Cutrera Primo Extra Virgin Olive Oil 25.4 fl oz — Sicilian DOP, Cold-Extracted, High Polyphenols

Frantoi Cutrera Primo is a cold-extracted, single-variety Tonda Iblea extra virgin olive oil from Sicily, offering a bright, fruity profile with green-tomato, herb and almond notes and a high polyphenol content.

Harvested early and pressed within six hours, this certified DOP oil comes from family-run groves around Chiaramonte Gulfi on the Iblei hills of southeastern Sicily. Produced using traditional know-how combined with controlled modern milling, Primo emphasizes freshness, balanced bitterness and a persistent peppery finish—qualities prized by chefs and home cooks who want a distinctive Italian EVOO for finishing, grilling and salads.

What flavor can I expect from this Sicilian oil?

You’ll notice an intensely fruity aroma with green and golden reflections. Tasting reveals a harmony of sweet, bitter and spicy elements with clear notes of green tomato, balsamic herbs and sweet almond from the Tonda Iblea variety.

• Top notes: fresh-cut grass and green tomato brightness
• Mid-palate: herbal balsamic nuances and subtle fruitiness
• Finish: gentle bitterness with a clean, peppery kick
• Color: vibrant green with golden highlights

How should I use Primo to highlight dishes?

Primo performs best as a finishing or complementing oil where its aroma and complexity remain perceptible. Use it drizzled over salads, hot toasted bread, bruschetta, grilled fish or roasted meats to lift flavors without overwhelming them.

• Finish soups and minestrone with a tablespoon for aroma
• Drizzle on bruschetta or warm bread to showcase fruit and almond notes
• Pair with grilled meats and fish for a bright, herb-forward accent
• Use cold on salads to preserve polyphenols and fresh aromatics

What makes this olive oil authentic and high quality?

Primo is made from organically farmed Tonda Iblea olives, pressed cold shortly after harvest and produced within the DOP area of Chiaramonte Gulfi. The family-run estate uses practices that combine traditional cultivation with careful selection and modern milling for consistent quality.

• Single-variety Tonda Iblea olives from early green harvests
• Cold extracted within six hours to preserve aromatics and polyphenols
• Produced in Sicily with DOP certification for geographic authenticity
• Family-owned operation with roots in the region dating to 1906

How should I store and serve this olive oil?

Keep Primo in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct light to maintain freshness and polyphenol stability. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed to release aromas, but avoid cooking at very high heat to preserve its delicate flavor.

• Storage: dark cabinet, under 20°C (68°F) if possible
• Use within months of opening for best flavor
• Best uses: finishing, dressing, low- to medium-heat cooking
• Package size: 25.4 fl oz (pack of 1) for regular kitchen use
