Designation of Origin

Depending on the ripeness of the olives when they are picked two different types of oil can be identified: a fruity type and a sweeter type. The fruity type is made from olives picked early on in the harvest season ; the sweeter type is made from riper olives and is characterised by its golden yellow colour, sweet taste and sharp sensation.
