The Chateau d’Estoublon olive oil estate dates back to the 18th century and is known as one of the most beautiful and remarkable sites in the Valley of Baux de Provence in southern France, located at the foothills of the great Alps. Five varieties of olives (Beruguette, Bouteillan, Grossane, Salonenque, and Picholine) are harvested by hand to craft a strong, rich, complex, and elegant extra-virgin oil that caresses the taste buds with notes of freshly cut grass and a slightly sharp finish. This A.O.P. (Appellation d'Origine Protegee, which guarantees the authenticity of where and how the product was made) extra-virgin oil is extracted from the olives within 24 hours of being picked. Stored in barrels in the chateau, away from heat and light, it's bottled on demand to retain its freshness.
Great with green vegetables, especially artichokes, and grilled white meat, or tossed with salad.
