In a valley of the Alpilles mountains situated in the southern French region of Provence, a lush family-run olive grove bears sumptuous fruits that make this delectable extra-virgin olive oil. Careful cultivation methods are used to obtain the absolute best flavor from each sun-ripened olive. Deep gold in color, the velvety oil features complex earthy flavors of freshly cut grass, citrus, and a hint of pepper. We taste a buttery caramel and light nuttiness, which really makes this extra virgin oil something special.

To make a refreshing winter salad, drizzle this over citrus fruits and sprinkle with sea salt. Rich and luscious enough for a dip, serve it with crusty bread, or pour over a raw vegetable salad. Drizzle on fruits and cheeses, or top spread like hummus and goat cheese.
