The Blend Sélection cuvée is a balanced and characterful extra virgin olive oil. Presenting an interesting contrast between ripe notes and green notes, it has a harmonious olfactory profile and a complex taste profile. It features a variety of aromas ranging from ripe banana and apple notes to green almond, olive leaf, and delicate mint notes. This oil is intense, offering a slight bitterness.
This diversity of aromas blends with balance, giving our extra virgin olive oil its uniqueness.

Olive Variety
Blend Sélection is a blend of two varieties: Arbequina, originating from Catalonia (see our 1ère and 2ème Récolte oils), and Chetoui, one of the oldest varieties from Tunisia. This variety has a robust and bitter sensory profile, characterized by a persistent bitterness. Its olive oil is rich in natural antioxidants due to its high polyphenol content. The aromatic palette of Chetoui is very atypical, dominated by notes of artichoke, olive leaf, arugula, and aromatic herbs.
Fruit Maturity
The Arbequina olives used for our Blend Sélection oil are the same as those from the 2ème Récolte (harvested later), combined with Chetoui variety olives, which are picked at mid-maturity (purplish olives).
Culinary Pairings
Blend Sélection is an extra virgin olive oil that pairs particularly well with all vegetables, spicy dishes, garlic, and chocolate-based desserts. In cold use, the bitterness of an arugula salad suits it beautifully.
