Description
A rare, pure and radiant oil that will give your dishes the perfect taste!
Discover the exquisite Bastide du Laval oil, an extra virgin olive oil with a protected designation of origin of Provence with an intense flavor, produced in the heart of the Luberon in Provence. It is made mainly from Aglandau olives, which are hand-harvested at the beginning of the season and immediately cold-pressed to preserve all the intensity of their vegetal aromas.
Its strong flavor reveals notes of fresh grass, raw artichoke and fresh almonds. Its spicy throat hit, called pungency, reveals its exceptionally high antioxidant content.

This Grand Cru Oliviers & Co extra virgin olive oil far exceeds this standard with an exceptionally low value of 0.19%.
