CastelaS EV Olive Oil Classic Organic AOP Vallée de Baux de Provence 500ml

A single-origin, classic, organic olive oil from Provence with protected origin. It comes from Castelas's young orchard of olive trees planted in 2008, on the very protected territory of the Crau. A subtle blend of Aglandau and Salonenque olives, this olive oil perfectly reflects this very arid terroir, which is scattered with pebbles adjoining the Etang des Aulnes.  

Classic AOP Provence is an interesting olive oil due to the complexity of its aromas. Ranging from raw artichoke and green pepper to tomato, its flavours give a pleasant feeling of roundness in the mouth. It pairs very well with salads, vegetables and fish throughout the year.

All Castelas bottles have a built-in pour spout to enable slow dosing.
 
After living for 15 years on the wide-open plains of Arizona, Catherine and Jean-Benoît Hugues decided to return to their roots. They returned to their native Provence to dedicate themselves to their passion: the olive tree.

The Domaine Castelas story began in 1997, when they fell in love with some old olive trees planted in south-facing land in the rocky range of Les Alpilles, in the locality of Castelas. Today, Domaine Castelas produces olives on 110 acres of Appellation d’Origine Protégée groves in the Vallée des Baux de Provence, and in 160 acres on the Plaine de Crau.

In this mill, at the foot of the Château des Baux, Catherine and Jean-Benoît combine know-how, passion, exacting standards, technique and all of their olive farmers’ sensibility to create intensely powerful olive oils year after year for constantly renewed pleasure.

In their characterful oils you will find the terroir of Les Alpilles, the varieties typical of the appellation (Salonenque, Aglandau, Grossane and Verdale) and the miller’s manual craft.
The CastelineS Collection unveils their oils’ treasures of flavour and complexity, distinguished regularly by prizes at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris.
