Early harvest, hand-picked, extracted purely mechanically, medium fruity: fresh scent of green olives, grassy, with a hint of artichoke, pleasant bitterness and a peppery finish. 250 ml for salad, bread, and vegetables. Not an oil for frying, but for the finished dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrentanum Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Vitelium\u003c\/strong\u003e is an extra virgin olive oil from an early harvest. The name commemorates the Frentani, a Samnite tribe whose ancient capital was Larino. There, in the valley of the Biferno River, the Gentile di Larino variety, from which the oil is primarily pressed, is grown. The 250 ml bottle is intended for everyday use: for a weekday salad, vegetables in the evening, and bread with salt when guests arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFresh notes of green olives, grass, and artichoke\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, Frentanum displays grassy notes and a fruity artichoke quality, accompanied by a pleasant bitterness. The nose is fresh and green, like a freshly sliced olive. In the finish, a peppery note gradually builds and lingers in the throat for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBitterness and pungency are not faults in an oil from early-harvested olives; rather, they are signs of the high polyphenol content that accompanies them. Depending on the season, the fruitiness may be more or less intense. Those expecting a mild, buttery olive oil will find Frentanum too robust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe oil for salad, vegetables, soup, and bread on the table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 250 ml, Frentanum is kept within easy reach of the stove. A leaf salad with lemon and salt, a fennel salad, a plate of tomatoes with onion: Frentanum is the oil for these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteamed vegetables become a dish with it: green beans, asparagus, broccoli, Swiss chard, along with salt and a splash of lemon. A plate of white beans or lentils, a vegetable soup, or a risotto at the end—everything gains freshness and a touch of pepperiness with a spoonful of Frentanum. For fried fish, chicken, or a piece of beef, add it only when the food is on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrentanum is less suitable for roasting and deep-frying; the fruitiness is too good for that. Store the bottle in a dark, cool place and keep it sealed to ensure the oil remains fresh for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boil potatoes in their skins, halve them while still warm, and add Frentanum, coarse salt, and a little rosemary. This side dish goes well with fish and grilled meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Biferno valley, pressed within six hours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLarino is located in Molise, a small region south of Abruzzo. The fertile Biferno valley is the home of the Gentile di Larino variety, which gives Frentanum its grass and artichoke notes. The olives come from Vitelium's own groves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting is done by hand, depending on the season between mid-October and early November, at a green-fruity stage of ripeness. Within six hours, the olives reach the oil mill and are processed purely mechanically in a centrifuge at under 27 degrees. The oleic acid content is below 0.2 percent, and the cultivation requires no fertilizers or pesticides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eVitelium is a manufacturer based in Hamburg with cultivation in Provvidenti, Campobasso province. Dr. Davide Petrollino, a plant biologist from Campobasso with ten years of research at the University of Ferrara, is responsible for cultivation and production.
