We recommend...
For this recipe, we recommend a PDO huile d'olive de Provence (intense taste), for its aromas of herbs and raw artichoke, which are sometimes complemented by notes of banana, hazelnut, fresh almond and tomato leaf.
If you don’t have any, then opt for an PDO huile d'olive d'Aix-en-Provence, a PDO huile d'olive de Haute-Provence, PDO huile d'olive du Languedoc, PDO huile d'olive de Nîmes, PDO huile d'olive de la Vallée des Baux-de-Provence or PDO huile d'olive de Corse – Oliu di Corsica.
