Grands Crus

Oliviers&Co use the vintage name "Grand Cru" as a tribute to the wine, because we select our Olive Oils with the same rigour and we bottle them much like great wine. Our bottling is not only for aesthetic reasons, the opaque containers are also crucial to protect the quality of the Olive Oil from the sun. 

You will discover two major flavour families:

The grassy flavour: more or less intense, it is characterised by lively,
green notes like cut grass, artichoke, or green apple…

The floral flavour: more or less delicate, it is characterised by a velvety
and milky touch with notes of nuts, cooked fruits & vegetables.

Some like it sweet, others bitter or spicy, round, fiery, but the matches between food and olive oil are the ones you like! To help you to discover the world of olive oil, we have created a colourful palette based on the principal aromatic notes of olive oil; it’s up to you to play and experiment... Like a spice, a well-chosen olive oil will bring a final touch to a dish to give it balance, pep or freshness.

The year 2024 brought challenges for the olive groves in the Mediterranean basin. While many farmers and olive oil enthusiasts eagerly anticipated the harvest, they were met with a mixed reality: a harvest below expectations. Olive trees, symbols of resilience and vitality, were influenced by various climatic factors and diseases, resulting in lower-than-expected production. This article explores the obstacles faced by olive producers during this challenging year.

Much like the tomato, olives walk the fine line between being both a vegetable and a fruit. Technically speaking, they are a fruit as they contain a seed and grow from the flower of a plant. However, its savory taste means that often people will refer it to as a vegetable, for it would rarely be used in any form of sweet cooking.
