Fruité Mûr olive oil, Chateau Virant, 500 ml

Chateau Virant's Fruité Mûr olive oil is a very high quality extra virgin olive oil with a smooth taste. It is made from the Salonenque and Aglandau varieties, with smaller quantities of other typical Provençal olive varieties.

Fruité Mûr olive oil uses the same varieties as the producer's other olive oils, but the olives used in this oil are picked later, resulting in a softer flavour and less harshness. The later picking also develops the ripe apple aromas in the olives. After picking, the olives are pressed within 12 hours in the producer's own mill.

The oil's round and smooth flavour makes it suitable for delicate dishes, raw and cooked, savoury and sweet. It is a good substitute for butter in baking, for example.
