What is Frescolio and why is it so special?
Among the most sought-after extra virgin olive oils by lovers of good food, Frescolio by Frantoi Cutrera is a true jewel of the Sicilian oil tradition. It is a novello oil , that is, the first oil extracted of the new season, made with freshly picked and cold-pressed olives.
What makes Frescolio unique is its intense aromatic profile and unmistakable freshness, which make it a perfect condiment to enhance simple and genuine dishes.
But beware: it is only available for a limited time each year, making it an exclusive product that cannot be missing from the table of those who love quality extra virgin olive oil.
What is new oil and how is it different?
New oil is the first oil of the season, extracted immediately after the olive harvest. Its main characteristic is its aromatic and gustatory intensity , thanks to the presence of polyphenols and antioxidants in higher quantities than oils stored for a long time.
Unlike more mature extra virgin olive oils, new oil:
✅ It has a bright green color , due to the chlorophyll still present.
✅ It presents herbaceous and fresh notes with hints of tomato, artichoke and almond.
✅ It has a more pronounced spiciness and bitterness , a sign of very high quality.
This is an unfiltered product, which means that it may have a slight sediment on the bottom of the bottle: a distinctive sign of its freshness and authenticity.
How Frescolio is produced
Frescolio was born in the Sicilian hills , where Frantoi Cutrera carefully cultivates centuries-old olive trees, the heritage of a tradition handed down for generations.
The production process follows rigorous methods to ensure quality and authenticity:
-
Early harvest – The olives are harvested in the first weeks of October, when they are still green and rich in polyphenols.
-
Cold Pressed – Within a few hours of harvesting, the olives are pressed at low temperatures to preserve their aromas and nutritional properties.
-
No filtration – The oil is left to settle naturally, maintaining its intensity and organoleptic characteristics.
-
Immediate packaging – Frescolio is bottled immediately after extraction to ensure maximum freshness and authentic flavour .
