The 1ère Récolte cuvée is an extra virgin olive oil with a pronounced character, offering a unique taste profile. This oil is distinguished by its green fruity aromas and ripe nuances. It offers a variety of scents, ranging from freshly cut grass to hints of apple, green almond, hazelnut, and walnut. This aromatic richness, blending fruity and herbal notes, gives our extra virgin olive oil its exceptional character.
Olive Variety
1ère Récolte is an excellent tasting oil. Fresh and fruity, present and intense, this characterful oil is perfect for enhancing all cold dishes: carpaccios, salads, ceviches, as well as for sauces (vinaigrettes, sauce vierge, etc.)
Fruit Maturity
As its name suggests, the olives used for our 1ère Récolte oil are the very first to be harvested each season. These are very green olives, picked at a stage known as "primeur." It is this rather early level of maturity that gives this oil its very green fruitiness and intensity.
Culinary Pairings
1ère Récolte is a monovarietal Arbequina oil, a variety originating from Catalonia.
Arbequina oils have a fruity, aromatic, and delicate taste profile with little bitterness. They offer a very broad sensory palette ranging from almond, apple, and banana notes to freshly cut grass or dried fruit, depending on their level of maturity.
