The Pitted
An olive extract with a unique and unmistakable flavour
In 2004 we started a research project in collaboration with the University of Basilicata and the University of Naples Federico II for the production of oil from pitted olives.
Pitted oil is a very high-quality extra virgin olive oil, with superior organoleptic properties compared to normal extra virgin olive oil and a source of numerous health benefits.
It is extracted from olive pulp alone: the "delicately" pitted olives are sent directly to the malaxer for the extraction of the precious oil, preserving all of its excellent nutritional and sensory characteristics.
Frantoio Pace operates sustainably: the olive stones are never wasted but transformed into fuel for thermal energy.
The result is an extra virgin olive oil up to 3 times richer in antioxidants, with lower acidity and fewer peroxides, ensuring better durability over time.
Pitted oil has a rich, balanced, and harmonious flavor, with a fruity aftertaste, aromatic notes of fresh grass, and a pleasant spicy hint.
Product Certification
Significant research has shown that the quality of oils obtained by extracting the pulp alone is higher . This makes pitted oil an essential ingredient for a healthy diet.
