Soleil des CapitellesIt's a whole story...
…stories told by grandparents and taken up by parents, stories told during a lunch in the family house, between mistral, sun, cicadas and summer perfumes.
To my parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents...

Soleil des CapitellesFamily Lands
On one of our lands was erected in 1816 a “capitelle”. Our ancestors inherited an ungrateful, stony soil that forced them to clear and remove the stones one by one, with their bare hands, to plant vines or olive trees.
With these stones they delimited their olive groves with low walls and built “capitelles”…
olive oil &...The 3 Families
of Tastes
Subtle Family
Oils with a subtle taste (fruity ripe): from ripe olives, the olive oils of this family are extracted from fresh olives. They are generally sweet with aromas of fruits (dried, ripe), flowers accompanied by vegetal notes.
Intense Family
Oils with an intense taste (green fruity): this family of oils is extracted fromfresh olives, harvested during the ripening process. They can present a light to medium bitterness, the gustatory notes are vegetable, herbaceous.
Old Fashioned Family
Old-fashioned olive oils (matured olives) differ from the first two because they have neither fresh fruit character nor vegetable aroma. They come from olives that are stored and matured for 4 to 8 days, under appropriate and controlled conditions, before extraction.
