The original. In the region of Abruzzo, bordering the Adriatic Sea, olive farmers have traditionally created citrus oils for family and friends in celebration of a bountiful harvest. Agrumato Lemon is a unique condiment, the first of its kind, introduced by Manicaretti in the early 1990s.

Why is it special? The crisp freshness of Agrumato Lemon is achieved by the whole-fruit crushing process, which cannot be duplicated by the more common infusion method of other citrus-flavored oils. Whole lemons are crushed together with olives in the traditional cold-extraction method to capture the essential oils of the zest in the resulting extra virgin olive oil.

AGRUMATO® is the original. It is produced by using only olives and citrus strictly free from harmful substances and carefully selected for ripeness and variety. The two ingredients are crushed simultaneously in a state-of-the-art frantoio (olive mill). When the resulting paste has obtained the right density, the AGRUMATO® is extracted. The process takes much longer than is usual for producing extra virgin olive oil and the low yield makes this product rare and precious.
