Frantoio is one of the major oil cultivars of Italy. It is widely propagated also outside its original growing region. The oil of this cultivar is considered of good quality and represents the typical Italian oil. In its original environment the production is good and relatively steady.

Under normal climate conditions Frantoio is self fertile but will benefit from cross pollination as do most olive cultivars. The common pollinators for Frantoio are: Leccino, Pendolino and Maurino. Under non-irrigated conditions the oil content is 21-24%. It drops under irrigation to 17-18%. The general long term fruit yield is relatively high, particularly in its region of origin – Toscana. The oil is of good aromatic quality

Flower The inflorescence is medium in length (4-5 cm) with 24-29 flowers.
Stone The stone’s shape is similar to that of the fruit with a relative medium to large size (about 20%). It is somewhat asymmetrical with a small mucron.
Fruit Small to medium (2-2.5 g) its shape is somewhat elongated with the widest diameter close to the apex. There is no defined green maturation. Color change starts from the distal end up to the drupe and at full maturation the fruit has a deep black uniform color.
