Cooperativa del Frantoio Sociale
Nestled in the picturesque hills of Conversano, Puglia, the Cooperativa del Frantoio Sociale stands as a beacon of traditional olive oil production. Since 1962, this consortium of dedicated producers has been crafting Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) that captures the essence of Southern Italy. Heritage and Harvest Our EVOO is born from the lush olive groves of Conversano, where local cultivars like Cima di Mola, Olivastro, Simone, Cima di Melfi, Leccino, and Coratina are nurtured with care. Harvesting begins in October, primarily by hand, ensuring the delicate touch and respect these olives deserve. The Art of Oil Making We employ a blend of tradition and innovation. Our olives are processed immediately after harvest, using a grinding extraction at a controlled temperature of 24 degrees. This method preserves the healthy properties of the olives, resulting in oil that is stored in stainless steel tanks to maintain its purity and flavor. The Essence of Our Oil Our EVOO stands out with its vibrant green color, a testament to its freshness. It offers a harmonious balance of flavors - pronounced fruity notes, a pleasant spiciness, and a subtle bitter aftertaste. Each drop is a melody of almond and artichoke, ensuring a delightful experience for the palate. A Blend of Excellence The Cooperativa EVOO is a meticulous blend of local cultivars, each contributing to its unique profile. Our traditional milling process safeguards the organoleptic qualities, delivering an oil that is not just a condiment, but a journey through the heart of Puglia. Experience the legacy and love poured into every bottle of Cooperativa del Frantoio Sociale’s EVOO.
