Huile d'olive de Haute-Provence is a unique olive oil from the French region of Alpes de Haute-Provence and nearby municipalities, characterized by its inimitable mild, bitter flavor and its strong aroma reminiscent of apples, pears, freshly cut grass, tomato and raw artichokes.
The flavors are all equally present on the palate and provide a slightly peppery aftertaste. It has been produced in the region since the Middle Ages, with the dominant olive variety being the Aglandau olive tree, which must be at least five years old in order to make this prestigious olive oil.
