This Haute-Provence olive oil is obtained exclusively in our mill from olives harvested by our producers in the olive groves around Manosque. Our soil, our single cold-pressing technique, the know-how acquired by successive generations since the founding of our oil-mill in 1928, and AOC Haute-Provence olive oil specifications all combine to bring you an olive oil with the following criteria:
Varietal composition: 80% minimum Aglandau variety combined with other local varieties such as Colombale, Rosée du Mont d'Or, Grappier, Picholine, Tanche bouteillan.
Quality and intensity of fruity aroma: Very intense green fruity aroma.
Organoleptic qualities and culinary associations: a very sharp oil with hints of raw artichoke. The flavours are herbaceous with a slight bitterness. The sharpness and bitterness highlight the strong intensity of the fruity aroma when you use this oil with your dishes. This oil goes well mainly with salads and raw vegetables and suits all cooked or raw vegetable-based preparations (for example: our Provencal ratatouille). The very pronounced fruity aroma which gives this oil its special character makes it our ‘favourite’.
Physico-chemical characteristics: Maximum acidity 0.3% (0.8% specifications). This quality Extra Virgin olive oil is obtained in our mill by single cold-pressing. The freshness and quality of the crushed olives give our oil a high content in anti-oxidants - olive oil’s natural preservatives for its renowned health properties.
