Monocultivar FRANTOIO 

Deep green in color with golden highlights, this oil reveals its value as soon as you taste it. You will perceive intense vegetal aromas of artichoke and thistle, along with notes of green almond. An aftertaste with a clear final pungency will come to complete its refined and harmonious flavor.

Monocultivar NOCELLARA

This extra virgin from Nocellara, a cultivar native to Sicily, has aromas reminiscent of tomato leaf, mown grass, mint and sweet almond. In the mouth it is a fresh balance, as freshly pressed oil is, and it complements multiple flavors.

Monocultivar CORATINA

The flavor of this oil will immerse you in the warm atmosphere of Puglia, a land of majestic olive groves. Made only from the pulp of the prized Coratina olive variety, it has a fresh taste with a bitterish tendency, intense notes of green almond and arugula, and a spicy hint of white pepper.

Organic

ORGANIC Extra Virgin is a high quality, genuine and 100% Italian organic oil, obtained without the use of synthetic chemicals and certified by ICEA (Institute for Ethical Environmental Certification), for those seeking a superior quality organic product with harmonious and pleasant taste characteristics.

Its bouquet, herbaceous fruitiness of medium intensity, has rich and elegant tones of freshly mowed grass. Recommended for raw seasoning and generally for all delicate dishes.

GRANFRUTTATO

This is the product in which the Monini oil art finds its highest expression. Intense fruity bouquet of green olive, complex and elegant, with clear hints of green almond, fresh, and ample floral notes. To produce this 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, Zefferino Monini selects only oils made from olives harvested slightly ahead of their ripening time. The intense and elegant character, decidedly fragrant, makes it ideal for uses where only a few drops are enough to enhance the best dishes.

100% Italian selection

MONINI Italian Selection is subject to traceability to allow the consumer to know the place of origin of the product purchased through a QR code placed on the label. A path made of care and sincere gestures, to offer you products of excellent quality, controlled and guaranteed by the Consorzio Extra Vergine di Qualità (CEQ), a body that defines the rules and procedures for an Extra Virgin Olive Oil always perfect for nutritional properties, taste and flavor.

MONINI FOR VAN GOGH limited edition

The exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum, which houses the largest collection of works by the Dutch painter and is an unmissable stop on trips to Amsterdam, gives us the opportunity to bring the artist’s magic and his passion for nature to homes and tables around the world.

We selected three beautiful paintings by Van Gogh, chosen as the most representative of the artist’s poetics, to faithfully reproduce them on as many half-liter cans of 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil.

L’OLIVA LECCINO

The Leccino olive is among the best-known and most appreciated cultivars in Italy; its typical slightly toasted and woody hints make it enjoyable in any context: on its own, in the sauce of a nice first course, as a condiment for fish.
