ORGANIC OLIVE OIL
Authenticity and Flavor: The Essence of our Organic Provençal Olive Oil
Discover the quintessence of Provence through our organic olive oil.
Sourced exclusively from the estate's olive grove, our oil is distinguished by its fruity and vibrant flavor, perfect for enhancing your salads, appetizers, and cooked dishes. Each drop is the result of careful cold extraction, carried out during the first pressing at a local mill. Let yourself be seduced by this authentic Provençal touch that will elevate every dish.
A purely Provençal origin
Our olive grove, managed using organic farming methods, is mainly planted with olive trees of the local variety Verdale, known as Aglandau in Provençal.
Its oil gives a green fruitiness renowned for its characteristic notes of raw artichoke and bitter almond.
The olive trees are on small plots bordering our vineyards and on terraces in the Dentelles de Montmirail.
In years when the harvest is plentiful, we make olive oil exclusively.
Cold Extraction: The Promise of Unparalleled Quality
At Domaine de la Camarette, we place paramount importance on the quality of our olive oil. That's why we use the cold extraction process, a traditional method that preserves all the organoleptic qualities of the olive. The first pressing, a crucial step in this process, allows us to extract the very best from the olive without using heat or chemicals. This technique guarantees a superior quality olive oil, rich in flavor and health benefits.
Mature Olive Oil: A Smooth and Indulgent Expression
At Domaine de la Camarette, we also offer a matured olive oil, made from olives harvested at full maturity. After harvesting, the olives are intentionally left to rest for a few days before extraction, in order to develop rounder and milder aromas.
This traditional method yields an olive oil with richer notes, a subtle hint of ripe fruit, and very moderate bitterness. Matured olive oil is prized for its smoothness and enveloping character, making it ideal for those seeking a milder oil on the palate.
It pairs perfectly with cooked dishes, roasted vegetables, meats, pasta or cheeses, adding a touch of generosity and authenticity.
