Nyons area : Olives, olive oil and tapenade

	yons olive oil is 100% pure juice of the olive fruit, with nothing added.
Nyons olive oil is extra virgin quality, which means that the acidity is less than 1g/ liter. The oil is very unctuous and subtly fruity with aromas of green apple and freshly cut grass, with golden green color. The many health benefits of olive oil have been widely recognized since time immemorial. The gastronomic uses are countless, and Nyons olive oil particularly suits salads, vegetables, fine fish and desserts.

he Nyons olive itself can be prepared in two ways :

- In a 10% brine (water + sea salt), for at least 6 months so that the salt
penetrates the olive and removes the bitterness in the olive.
The olive can then be kept, vacuum packed or in brine, and enjoyed at any time.
- “Piquée”, or pricked, as soon as it is harvested. The olives are pricked and salted to make the fruit “cry”
and lose its bitterness. Olives prepared in this manner do not last as long as the previous method, but
the gorgeous prune and hazelnut notes are unforgettable…
