Galantino Extra Virgin Olive Oil Fantasia is produced by Frantoio Galantino in Puglia, Southern Italy, a family-run olive oil producer that has been producing olive oil since 1926 near the city of Bari along the Adriatic coast. The Galantino family is known for traditional olive oil production, cold extraction methods, and strict quality control, producing high-quality extra virgin olive oils from olives grown in their estate groves.
This extra virgin olive oil is made from a blend of Ogliarola and Coratina olives, two traditional olive varieties from Puglia. Ogliarola olives produce smooth, mild olive oils with almond notes, while Coratina olives add structure, herbal notes, and a light peppery finish due to their higher polyphenol content. The combination creates a balanced olive oil that is flavorful but not too strong, making it very versatile for everyday use.
The olives are cold extracted to preserve their natural aromas, flavor, and nutritional properties. The oil is packaged in the Fantasia hand-painted ceramic bottle, made by local artisans in Puglia. Each ceramic bottle is unique and helps protect the olive oil from light exposure, preserving freshness and quality.
