Grande Franco 5L is crafted for kitchens where consistent quality, authentic taste, and efficiency in daily operations truly matter. It is designed for restaurants, pizzerias, hotels, and catering companies that want to serve dishes with a bold Mediterranean character while relying on a product of proven origin.
Grande Franco is a top-grade extra virgin olive oil, free from additives and chemical processing. Each batch comes from trusted local producers in Calabria, ensuring consistent flavour and quality—essential in gastronomy.
Our olive oil is produced in southern Italy, in sunny Calabria—a region where olive groves stretch between the mountains and the Ionian Sea. It is here, in natural conditions and following the traditions of family producers, that an oil with intense aroma and stable quality is born, ideal for use in profesional kitchens.
Origin and Variety
Grande Franco is made from early-harvest Koroneiki olives—one of the most prized olive varieties in the world. The olives are picked as early as October, while still green and full of natural aromas. Early harvesting preserves a high content of natural phenolic compounds and gives the oil its characteristic freshness and slightly peppery finish.
The oil is cold-pressed shortly after harvest, without the use of chemicals or refining. This ensures that Grande Franco retains a pure taste, natural aroma, and qualities highly valued in both Mediterranean and modern kitchens.
