Frantoio is a very fruity EVOO, with a good balance of pepperiness and bitterness. It is outstanding when used to make fresh basil or coriander pesto, because it enhances the flavour of the fresh herbs and provides the perfect mouth feel accompaniment for these richly satisfying condiments. Alternatively, Frantoio can be used as a delicious dipping oil (with fresh dense crusty bread) and dukkah (a condiment consisting of a variety of nuts, seeds and spices).
