Origin
Domaine CastelaS revisits the age-old tradition of Provence to create Noir d'Olive. Produced from 4 varieties of olive native to our own
groves, they are picked when fully ripe and stored in an oxygen free
environment.
Then, starts the delicate task of light fermentation to
recreate the taste of preserved black olives from our ancestors' stone-wheel mills.
Achieving this distinctive taste without the associated drawbacks is a real art!
Tasting
This vintage will delight enthusiasts of black fruity olive oils.
It displays all the positive attributes of the AOP Vallée des Baux's
aromatic palette: a subtly fermented note, black tapenade, confit
olives, cocoa and vanilla, with truffle to
finish. Wonderfully mild on the palate.
Suggestion
Noir d'Olive is best used cold in garlic-seasoned salads, for making mayonnaise, and for drizzling on confits, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes.
