This is what a good Frantoio variety olive oil should taste like. It is very well balanced with a wonderful green-floral aroma along with high intensities of fruitiness, and pungency slightly more than bitterness. The crisp astringency gives it a fresh, clean, zingy mouth feel. This oil has a little bit of ripe fruit character, but it is predominantly green with strong flavors of fresh cut grass, herbs, mint, green apple, and a great spicy, black pepper finish.
