Frantoio Olive Trees

Frantoio olive trees originate from Italy and are primarily renowned for their Tuscan heritage and robust, fruity flavor. While Frantoio was initially cultivated in Tuscany, it is now planted all over the globe and performs well in California and other regions with Mediterranean climates. Its olive oil taste is distinct and aromatic; therefore, it’s often prized on its own. However, it’s also interplanted with cultivars like Pendolino and Leccino, which serve as excellent pollinators and can be blended to create different flavor profiles.

Care and Maintenance

Frantoio olive trees are exceedingly versatile and thrive in ordinary, slightly alkaline, well-drained soils. Just water profoundly and often over the first few growing seasons to help the plant build a strong root system. Once established, lessen the frequency of application; it is drought tolerant. Protect young plants (or freshly transplanted Frantoio) from extreme winter weather.

Written references to Frantoio may be discovered around the 16th century. It is usually believed to be one of the earliest cultivars in Italy. With increased popularity over the last 50 years, Frantoio is widely cultivated worldwide—primarily grown in California, Chile, and Australia, among other olive oil-producing locations.
