Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The all-rounder.

Our Frantoio is a medium-style extra virgin olive oil with a lovely savoury nose and notes of bitter greens and Jerusalem artichoke with a balanced bitterness and soft texture. A versatile oil that can be used for all applications including frying, finishing your favourite dishes, or as part of a marinade. We love to use it as the base for homemade pesto!

Chemistry / Nutrition:

* Total Biophenols; 207 parts per million. Biophenols are the antioxidants that give extra virgin olive oil its great flavour (pepperiness & bitterness) and incredible health properties. Typical oils range between 120 ppm and 350 pmm.
* Free Fatty Acid (FFA); 0.26%. To be considered extra virgin olive oil the oil must have a free acidity, expressed as free oleic acid, of no more than 0.8 grams per 100 grams and no sensory defects. In a sense, the FFA level indicates the fruit’s condition at the time the oil was extracted. It's essentially a freshness quotient.

Our Premium Promise:

All Mount Zero Olive Oil is cold-pressed (room temperature) just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality. Similarly, our 100% Australian olive oils come from the first pressing of the olives which is what the term 'extra virgin' refers to.
