EXTRA COLD EXTRACTION

Frantoio di Montalcino is the first olive mill in the world to implement the Extra Cold Extraction Method — a revolutionary innovation in the world of high-quality olive oils. This groundbreaking method was developed in collaboration with Oxford University and the University of Perugia, under the guidance of renowned professor Maurizio Servilli.

Extra Cold Extraction enables the olives to be crushed at temperatures below 0°C. This process helps preserve the highest possible concentration of the olive oil's most valuable health properties — polyphenols, antioxidants, and vitamin E. Thanks to this advanced method, our olive oils are among the healthiest in the world. In our Brunera line, you'll find up to 1,200 mg/kg of polyphenols, antioxidants, and vitamin E. In the “Colori di Toscana” line, levels exceed 800 mg/kg.

This special extra cold technology also ensures that both the flavor and the beneficial properties of the olive oil are preserved for a much longer time, delivering a product that is both delicious and exceptionally healthy.
