A single-origin Provencal olive oil of protected origin. It is 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, scattered with pebbles that adjoins the Etang des Aulnes.
Classic AOP Provence is an interesting olive oil due to the complexity of its aromas. Ranging from raw artichoke, green pepper to tomato, its flavours give a pleasant feeling of roundness in the mouth. It combines very well with salads, vegetables and fish throughout the year.
All Castelas bottles have a built-in pour spout to enable slow dosage.
After living for 15 years on the wide-open plains of Arizona, Catherine and Jean-Benoît Hugues decided to go back to their roots. They returned to their native Provence to dedicate themselves to their passion: the olive tree.
The Domain 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 pleasure constantly renewed.
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.
