A L'Olivier PDO Provence Extra Virgin Olive Oil Matured Olives 250ml
A L’Olivier PDO Provence Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Matured Olives 250ml is a distinctive French artisan olive oil crafted from late-harvest, naturally “matured” olives grown in the Provence region and protected under PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status.
Produced by A L’Olivier, a historic French olive oil specialist, this expression uses olives that are left longer on the tree to fully ripen, developing deeper, rounder, and more mellow flavour characteristics compared to early-harvest oils.
The oil is typically cold-extracted to preserve its natural aromatic qualities and regional character. The result is a smooth, elegant extra virgin olive oil with a distinctly softer profile.
The flavour profile is rich and rounded:
- Ripe olive flavour with low bitterness
- Soft, buttery texture on the palate
- Subtle notes of dried fruit and cooked vegetables
- Gentle pepperiness rather than sharp pungency
- Long, mellow finish
Unlike more robust green olive oils, this “matured olives” style is designed for smoothness and approachability, making it especially versatile in cooking where a softer olive presence is desired.
A L’Olivier PDO Provence Matured Olives Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a softer, more velvety expression of Provençal olive oil, highlighting ripeness and elegance over intensity while maintaining authentic regional character.
