Frantoi Cutrera Primo Cold-Extracted DOP Sicilian EVOO – 25.4 oz x 2

Frantoi Cutrera Primo: Cold-Extracted Sicilian EVOO

Frantoi Cutrera Primo is a single-varietal, cold-extracted extra virgin olive oil crafted in southeastern Sicily. Using only the early green harvest of the Tonda Iblea olives, the oil is pressed within six hours of picking, delivering a vibrant green hue with golden reflections. The aroma is fresh and the taste profile is intensely fruity, inviting you to explore Italian olive oil in a new light.

In the glass, Primo reveals a refined, peppery warmth with delicate spiciness and flavors reminiscent of green tomato, herbaceous balsamics, and a subtle almond note from the olives. The oil strikes a harmonious balance of sweet, bitter, and spicy elements, making it a versatile companion for a wide range of dishes without overpowering other ingredients.

Origin, Craft, and Quality

This premium Sicilian EVOO comes from the Chiaramonte Gulfi region, a area known for its PDO-style oils. Primo is produced from the first harvest, using a single olive variety, and the olives are organically farmed. The family-owned operation spans roughly 75 hectares of groves in the Monti Iblei hills, where Mediterranean breezes help shape the olive’s character.
