A L'Olivier Lavender Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Lavender, the symbolic flower of Provence, bathes the region’s fields, hills and mountainous plateaux in its pale lilac colour and enchanting fragrance. Used as much in perfume as it is in the kitchen, lavender gives this olive oil an authentic Provençal flavour. This oil is all natural, delicately flavored oil that can be used for sweet and savory dishes.

Preparation

This oil is perfect drizzled on cooked meat: a rack of lamb with aromatic Provençal herbs, soya beef skewers and even honey-glazed duck breast. The freshness of the lavender pairs well with roasted cod filet, Provençal fougasse or goat’s cheese salad with toast. You can also use it in desserts: why not on an apricot tart, roasted mirabelle plums, vanilla ice cream or a strawberry fruit salad. It also works well with chocolate-based dishes like bitter cocoa sorbet, chocolate fondant, or creamy dark chocolate mousse.

Meticulous Sourcing

Since 1822, A L’Olivier has committed to their meticulous selection process of producing their olive oils. Eugène Popelin founded A L’Olivier in Paris to offer quality Provencal oils to the capital’s inhabitants. He therefore developed the procedure still in use today. All year round, A L’Olivier scours the Mediterranean basin, finding the best vintages to offer to clients. A committee of expert tasters ensure that the sourced materials are of impeccable quality. The traceability, purity and freshness of all the oils under the A L’Olivier name are all then watched over by a quality control team up until they make it to stores and consumers like you.
