Sovrano di Trisole is a 100% Italian oil produced by Il Frantolio D'Amico from olives harvested in the countryside surrounding Cisternino in the Itria Valley of Puglia. The blend reflects local cultivars typical of the region, including Ogliarola, Nardò, Cerasola, Coratina, and Biancolilla, contributing to a layered and balanced sensory profile.
Olives are hand-picked between October and December, mainly from mature and centuries-old trees, and cold-extracted shortly after harvest to preserve freshness and aromatic integrity. The oil shows an intense yellow-green color and a pronounced fruity aroma with notes of fresh olive leaf, green herbs, and artichoke, supported by subtle spicy nuances.
On the palate, it presents a structured yet harmonious combination of moderate bitterness and clean pungency, with vegetal tones reminiscent of chicory and green almond. With a low acidity level, it reflects careful harvesting and milling practices aimed at maintaining technical precision and stability.
Its profile makes it versatile in the kitchen, suitable for seafood appetizers, tomato bruschetta, porcini mushrooms, fresh salads, legume soups, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Sovrano di Trisole represents a traditional Apulian style of extra virgin olive oil, defined by vegetal clarity, balance, and regional authenticity.
Producer
Il Frantolio D'Amico is an organic olive oil estate based in Cisternino, in the Itria Valley of Puglia, where the D’Amico family has been producing olive oil since 1917. The company focuses exclusively on 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil obtained from locally grown olives cultivated under certified organic practices.
Production is managed entirely in-house, from grove management to harvesting, milling, bottling, and packaging, ensuring traceability and quality control throughout the supply chain.

Their oils typically display a medium fruity profile with notes of fresh grass, green almond, and Mediterranean herbs, supported by balanced bitterness and clean pungency. The limestone soils and dry climate of the Itria Valley contribute to clarity and stability in the final product.
In addition to production, the estate welcomes visitors for guided tastings and educational tours, offering insight into traditional olive cultivation and milling techniques. Il Frantolio D'Amico positions itself within the organic, terroir-driven segment of extra virgin olive oil, emphasizing authenticity, sustainability, and generational continuity.
