This is Umbrian extra virgin olive oil at full throttle.
Frantoio Decimi Moraiolo is a pure, unapologetic expression of one of central Italy’s most powerful cultivars. Made exclusively from 100% Moraiolo, this oil captures the wild, muscular soul of Umbria — intense, structured and alive with energy.
Moraiolo is the backbone of great Umbrian and Tuscan oils, prized for its naturally high polyphenols, firm bitterness and long, peppery finish. In the hands of the Decimi family, harvested early from the hills around Bettona and cold-pressed within hours, it becomes something electric — an oil built for flavour, longevity and impact.
Appearance
Brilliant, vibrant green with golden highlights — a clear signal of freshness from the first pour.
Aroma
Unmistakably green and expressive. Intense notes of artichoke leaf, freshly cut grass and green olive lead the way, followed by bitter almond and a clean, herbaceous lift.
Palate
Medium-intense fruit with razor-sharp focus. The bitterness arrives confidently, evoking wild greens and artichoke heart, before giving way to a powerful, persistent peppery finish. The spice builds, lingers and energises the palate — balanced, thrilling and unmistakably Moraiolo.
This is an oil that demands food — and rewards it generously. Use it raw or as a final finish where its structure and bitterness can shine.
This is not a background oil.
Use it as a finishing oil, poured generously at the table. Let the bitterness cut through richness, let the spice lift the dish, and let the oil speak.
Frantoio Decimi Moraiolo — bold Umbrian character, bottled with confidence.

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.
