Italian term or phrase: 100% Frantoio

This is part of a title sentence describing an olive oil.

Azienda --------, Olio extravergine di oliva ----------, 100% Frantoio

I wondered whether to use the term 'cold-pressed' in the sense of '100% cold-pressed oil'. This is part of a review of olive oils for use in restaurants. Many thanks for your suggestions.

This is indeed the right answer for my translation and thank you all for the discussion which I have thoroughly enjoyed. My client wrote: E sia la varietà dell'oliva chiamata anche cultivar sia il luogo dove si frange cioè dove si lavora l'oliva. In questo caso, quando c'è la percentuale è il nome dell'oliva.

zerlina: sorry, but the 'frantoio' is the press, the oil mill, that someone uses it as a proper name is his business, but there is certainly a translation for the term . http://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/frantoio;ragà, mi deludete:-)

Lara Barnett: I think reference would need to be made that Frantoio is the pressing machine. If this is referring to Frantoio as a Trademark I think "variety" may not be the best term there is.

100% traditionally made

Explanation:
They may mean that it all comes from a traditional oil press, there is no addition of industrial oil, it is a homemade product

Asker: Thanks very much. Cynthia. I found out as you see above that Frantoio in this context refers to the variety of olive and not the press.

Quote "Today, the vast majority of extra virgin olive oil is made in centrifuges" so your text is trying to say that theirs isn't made that way.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Tom for your suggestion. I did manage to find out in the end as you see above that the Frantoio refers to the cultivar.

19 hrs confidence:

100% cold pressed virgin olive oil

Explanation:
My guess is that you are right here: they are probably referring to the process rather than the varietal. While the cultivar Frantoio is native to Tuscany, it is grown throughout Italy, but also in other parts of the world. You may have to check with the client on this one though as it isn't clear.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Hi! This answer would be absolutely right in a different context (see explanation from my client above) so in a sense it could also be entered in the glossary. Thanks so much!
