Frantoio Muraglia Coratina Fruttato Intenso Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a monocultivar olive oil made from 100% Coratina olives grown in Puglia, Southern Italy. The Muraglia family has produced olive oil for five generations and is known for preserving traditional olive oil production methods, including hand-harvesting olives and crushing them using stone mills.
The Coratina olive variety is native to Puglia and is known for producing bold, robust olive oils with high levels of polyphenols, which contribute to both the intense flavor and the health benefits of the oil. Coratina oils are typically more bitter and peppery than other olive oils and are highly valued for their antioxidant content and strong character.
This olive oil has aromatic notes of dill, fennel, artichoke, and green olive, followed by a spicy but balanced peppery finish typical of high-polyphenol Coratina oils. The oil is cold extracted shortly after harvest to preserve freshness, aroma, and nutritional properties.
Frantoio Muraglia continues the ancient tradition of storing olive oil in ceramic vessels, which help protect the oil from light and preserve its flavor and quality. Each ceramic bottle is handmade and hand-painted, making every bottle unique and both functional and decorative.
This olive oil works especially well with:
• Grilled meats
• Roasted vegetables
• Bean dishes
• Lentils
• Tomato bruschetta
• Steaks
• Ribollita
• Grilled bread
• Salads
• Soups
• Pasta with simple sauces
• Burrata or mozzarella
• Drizzled over finished dishes
Robust, peppery, and full of character, Muraglia Coratina Fruttato Intenso is a bold Southern Italian extra virgin olive oil known for its high polyphenols, intense flavor, traditional stone milling, and its iconic handmade ceramic bottle that protects and preserves the oil.
