The Classic extra virgin olive oil is the result of a blend of four olive varieties typical of the A.O.P. Vallée des Baux de Provence. Cold extraction at Moulin Castelas within 6 hours of harvest enhances the olive oil’s vegetal character and preserves the complex aromas specific to Domaine CastelaS.
Tasting Notes
This vintage is very fresh on the nose. The aromatic persistence reveals a lovely palette of flavors on the palate: raw artichoke, almond, apple, and tomato plant. The bitterness is subtle, and the pungency, or peppery sensation, appears after a few seconds in the mouth.
Suggestion
Classic is a delicate, complex, and harmonious olive oil best used as a raw drizzle. It enhances both hot and cooked dishes such as steamed vegetables, fish, fresh pasta, as well as green salads, raw vegetables, and cheese.
