“22” Classico is a premium Italian extra virgin olive oil with a medium fruity profile, perfectly balanced between bitterness and spiciness.
It offers elegant aromas of freshly cut grass, almond, and artichoke, creating a harmonious oil that enhances a wide variety of dishes.
Versatile and refined, this Italian EVOO is ideal for drizzling raw over vegetables, salads, grilled meats, fish, or simply fresh bread. A true everyday classic for those who appreciate high-quality olive oil.
The “22” Classico 2025/26 represents the pure expression of Master Oil Maker Gennaro Montecchia, and is considered one of his favorite blends thanks to its remarkable balance and organoleptic complexity.
This 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil is characterized by fresh herbaceous aromas and delicate hints of artichoke and bitter almond.
On the palate, the oil opens with a pleasant bitterness followed by a gradually increasing spiciness, creating a dynamic yet balanced tasting experience.
The result is a harmonious extra virgin olive oil where aromas and flavors evolve smoothly, enhancing the structure and depth of many dishes.
To preserve its quality, EVO 22 is carefully filtered to remove natural residues, preventing sediment formation and protecting the oil during storage.
Thanks to its balance and versatility, “22” Classico is the most versatile olive oil in the Golden Line.
It is perfect when drizzled raw over:
• grilled vegetables
• fresh salads
• soups and legumes
• roasted meat and fish
• bruschetta and fresh bread
Even delicate dishes benefit from its complexity, as this extra virgin olive oil adds depth without overpowering the ingredients.
Those who prefer milder oils with lighter bitterness may prefer “2” Fruttato Leggero.
Like all our oils, “22” Classico is cold-extracted using a modern two-phase system, a technology that preserves the nutritional and sensory properties of the olives.
To further improve quality, Frantoio Montecchia continuously invests in technological innovation:
• 2021: installation of a new Heatex system
• 2023: installation of a new centrifugal separator
These improvements allow us to protect the polyphenols, aromas, and freshness of the olives during extraction.
Since 1996, our goal has always been the same: producing extraordinary extra virgin olive oil through innovation and expertise.
All our oils are produced exclusively from high-quality Italian olives carefully selected for their health and ripeness.
The olives used for “22” Classico 2025/26 were harvested between late September and late October 2025, when the olives are still green or just beginning to ripen — the ideal moment to obtain oils with strong aromatic intensity and high nutritional value.
Harvesting is carried out both manually and mechanically to ensure speed and preserve the quality of the fruit.
Classico 22 is a carefully crafted blend of:
• Maurino
• Coratina
• minor Italian varieties
At the end of the olive season, once all oils have been produced, Master Oil Maker Gennaro Montecchia and his team taste each batch and determine the ideal percentages for every blend.
Blending requires experience, sensitivity, and deep knowledge of olive varieties. Each oil must contribute its aromas, structure, and personality to create a perfectly balanced final product.
This meticulous work is what allows us to achieve excellence in Italian extra virgin olive oil.
