Fratelli Colletti is a medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil made from Biancolilla olives. Marked by a clean, herbal character, Fratelli Colletti opens with green leaf aromas and ripe olive notes, followed by a steady build of black pepper that lingers on the finish.

The Colletti brothers oversee both production and distribution, maintaining a direct role in how the oil is made and how it reaches international markets.
