100 Grand Cru is a premium extra virgin olive oil produced by Frantoio Congedi and represents a careful selection of the estate’s best parcels in Salento. It is a structured blend of three monovarietal oils, created to achieve both complexity and balance between fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency.

On the nose, it shows pronounced green notes of freshly cut grass, olive leaf, and artichoke, supported by hints of green almond. The palate is medium to robust in intensity, with a clean, defined bitterness and a persistent peppery finish that reflects a high polyphenol content.

Olives are harvested early in the season and milled immediately after picking to preserve aromatic clarity and stability. The “Grand Cru” designation refers to the selection of superior micro-lots and strict quality control throughout production.

This oil is best used as a finishing element, particularly with grilled vegetables, legumes, seafood carpaccio, or aged cheeses. Its structured sensory profile positions it among the more expressive contemporary oils from Puglia, emphasizing both terroir and technical precision in extraction.
