Why We Selected This Olive Oil
At Rocky Mountain Olive Oil, we carefully select every extra virgin olive oil based on freshness, chemistry, flavor, and authenticity—not simply variety or origin. This Chilean Frantoio stood out for its remarkable balance, elegant flavor profile, and exceptional laboratory analysis.
Its 95.3 DAGs, 0.16% free fatty acidity, and 5.47 peroxide value demonstrate excellent harvesting, milling, and storage practices, while 250.3 ppm biophenols provide naturally occurring antioxidants and contribute to its vibrant freshness. The result is an ultra-premium olive oil that is refined, versatile, and consistently delicious.
What Makes Frantoio Olive Oil Special?
Originating in Tuscany, Frantoio is one of Italy's most respected olive varieties and is renowned for producing elegant extra virgin olive oils with remarkable balance and complexity. Unlike more assertive varieties, Frantoio offers layers of fruit, herbs, and gentle pepper that complement food rather than dominate it.
This Chilean harvest beautifully expresses the variety with bright apple notes, delicate florals, savory herbs, and a lingering pepper finish, making it an excellent choice for both everyday cooking and special occasions.
Why Biophenols Matter
Biophenols (polyphenols) are naturally occurring antioxidants found in premium extra virgin olive oil. They contribute to freshness, flavor complexity, stability, and the peppery sensation associated with high-quality early-harvest oils. With 250.3 ppm biophenols, this Frantoio delivers excellent antioxidant content while maintaining an exceptionally smooth, approachable flavor profile.
