Oil mill VERGAL FRANTOIO is a mono-varietal extra virgin olive oil from the Aminess Group, obtained from the introduced Frantoio variety. It has a distinct green colour, intense fruitiness, and a beautifully balanced bitterness and spiciness. The aroma of Vergal Frantoio oil reveals green grass and oregano, and the taste - green almonds, artichokes, and green bananas. Vergal Frantoio oil is the best addition to oily fish dishes, fuži (Istrian pasta) with truffles, and as a finishing touch on a dark chocolate cake. In addition to Frantoio oil, the Vergal brand has one more mono-varietal oil, the Vergal Leccino, and a multi-varietal Vergal Blend. Their olive groves cover 8 hectares in Karpinjan, in the Novigrad area, where a total of 2.100 trees have been planted. From the hand-picked fruits, they produce around 5.000 litres of high-quality oil annually, which is used on daily basis in the Aminess restaurants or sold as a gourmet souvenir. Vergal extra virgin olive oil is among the very top of the Istrian olive oil range. They won numerous awards at the most prestigious international competitions.
