Decimi “Emozione” is Umbria in full voice. Its name celebrates the feeling behind it — the excitement and emotion the producers experience each year as the oil takes on a new life, shaped by the evolving organoleptic qualities of the harvest. Produced by the family-run Frantoio Decimi in Bettona, Umbria, the olives are harvested at peak ripeness and cold-pressed immediately to lock in flavour, aroma and nutrition. It’s no surprise Decimi is consistently awarded on the world stage, including, best Intense Fruity 2024 Flos Olei, Gold at the New York Olive Oil Competition and recognition as one of Italy’s best olive mills.
A powerful yet beautifully balanced extra virgin olive oil from Frantoio Decimi, crafted from four classic Umbrian cultivars — Moraiolo, San Felice, Frantoio and Leccino.
Colour deep emerald-green colour with golden highlights signals freshness and quality.
Aroma On the nose it’s vibrant and green: fresh-cut grass, artichoke, thistle and chicory, lifted by hints of green apple, mint and sage. On the palate, Emozione lives up to its name — bold, enveloping and expressive.
Taste Expect a confident bitterness of wild greens and almond, followed by a clean, peppery kick that lingers long and proud. Intense, yet perfectly in harmony.
This is a powerful oil that loves equally expressive food.
Red Meat & Game
Florentine steak, lamb, lamb chops and game meats. The robust fruitiness, spice and phenolic grip stand up to strong, savoury flavours effortlessly.
Legumes & Pasta
Finish ragù, chickpea dishes or a simple spaghetti aglio e olio with a final pour. It adds depth, aroma and that signature peppery lift.
Grilled Fish
Ideal with heavier seafood like grilled swordfish or tuna, where the structure of the oil complements rather than overwhelms.
Dark Chocolate
A few drops on high-quality dark chocolate or chocolate mousse enhances bitterness, complexity and length on the palate.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Sophisticated, savoury-sweet contrast. Peppery finish + creamy sweetness = unforgettable.
The Good Oil Tip:
For the full sensory and polyphenol experience, Decimi Emozione should always be used raw and added at the end of the dish to preserve its fresh aroma, complexity and antioxidant richness.

Frantoio Decimi is a story of family and unwavering conviction, deeply rooted in the heart of Umbria’s Martani Hills near Assisi. Driven by the near-obsessive passion of Graziano and Romina Decimi, the family oversees the entire olive oil supply chain—from cultivating ancient groves and hand-harvesting olives at peak ripeness to milling with cutting-edge, temperature-controlled extraction within hours of the harvest. This complete, uncompromising control, where nothing is outsourced or rushed, ensures the resulting monovarietal and blended oils—crafted primarily from Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Leccino—are of undeniable quality. These distinctly Umbrian oils are bold, intense, and beautifully balanced, marked by green fruitiness, artichoke, and a confident peppery finish, earning Frantoio Decimi consistent top honors in the prestigious Flos Olei guide and international Gold awards.
