Frantoio Muraglia Essenza Pitted Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Fruity, delicate and lively on the finish, this oil offers an approachable way into Coratina. Removing the stones before pressing gives the olive flesh centre stage and creates a softer expression than Muraglia’s intensely fruity oil. It brings flavour to subtle dishes without taking them over, making it particularly useful when you have carefully cooked fish or vegetables. Start with a small finishing pour, then add more to taste. The appeal lies in its restraint as much as its character.

• Steamed fish: Finish a fillet of sea bass or another delicate white fish with a little oil, sea salt and a few fresh herbs, then serve immediately.
• Vegetables and potatoes: Spoon over steamed green vegetables or warm potatoes. Keep dressings light so the oil complements their natural flavour rather than hiding it beneath stronger seasoning.

For Denocciolato, Muraglia separates the olive flesh from its stone before extraction. The process creates a distinctive expression of Coratina while keeping the fruit itself at the heart of the oil. Choose 250ml for discovery or 500ml for regular use.

Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from direct light and the heat of the hob. Follow the best-before date on your bottle and replace the closure promptly after pouring.
