Château de Panisse is located in the heart of Provence, the land of olive trees and olive oil, blessed with sun and blue skies where the Mistral wind blows. The location on 15 hectares around a 15th-century château, the varieties of olive trees and the aeration of the plantations have allowed these mature Fruité Vert and Noir d'Olives olives to obtain the AOC "Huile d'olive de Provence". Picholine, a single variety, is made of 100% Picholine olives from a neighboring orchard. Fruité Vert was awarded the gold medal at the 10th Concours National des Huiles d'Olives de France en Appellation d'Origine 2013 and the silver medal 2018 at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris et New-York. Noir d'Olives maturées won the gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2014, and in 2018 the gold medal at the AOC PDO olive oil competition in Nyons, as well as the 3rd Épicure d'Or de l'Épicerie Fine.
"Noir d'Olives" de Panisse is made according to a traditional Provençal recipe: controlled fermentation of olives produces a sweet oil with a taste similar to that of a black olive. Its nose, called "chômé", is very distinctive, with strong aromas of cocoa, mushrooms and truffles. In the kitchen: a drizzle before serving with ratatouille, mushrooms, mature goat cheese or prawns a la plancha and as a dessert in quince or pear compotes and on boiled apples...
