Tip
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de la Vallée des Baux-de-Provence – olives maturées for its notes of candied olive, black olive, olive paste, cocoa, mushroom, cooked artichoke, truffle and sourdough bread. You could also choose PDO huile d'olive d'Aix-en-Provence – olives maturées or PDO huile d'olive de Provence – olives maturées.
We recommend PDO olives noires de Nyons for their aromas of red berries, woodland, chocolate and even vanilla. You could also opt for olives noires de la Vallée des Baux-de-Provence PDO or olives de Nice PDO.
