Gran Cru Affiorato Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Gift Box

Gran Cru Affiorato is made exclusively from olives grown and harvested on the Galantino estate. This olive oil is obtained by the ancient method of hand-skimming the layer of olive oil that naturally rises to the surface after the olives have been crushed. Only 5,000 numbered bottles are produced each year. With delicate notes of fruit and almonds, this olive oil is best suited for delicately flavored fish, shellfish and salads.

Discover the passion of the Galantino Family, a family that has been masters of olive oil since 1926. They only select the best olives from their groves near Bari (Apulia), near the Adriatic cost, a region that produces more olives than anywhere else in the world. Even today, in this era of automation, all of Galantino’s Ogliarola and Coratina olives are hand-harvested the traditional way, by shaking the branches of the olive trees so that the olives fall gently onto canvas traps. In another nod to tradition, Galantino mills their olives with traditional granite millstones. Through cold extraction and strict quality testing, Galantino ensures that their extra virgin olive oil is consistently the best. With artistic packaging and fresh and smooth qualities, Galantino oils have won the most important international awards and accolades.
