Filling:
- 700–800 g fresh grapes (ideally Chasselas)
- 10 walnut kernels
- 3 tbsp hazelnut flour
- 50g sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Nyons olive oil PDO
Pastry:
- 150g of flour
- 100g of einkorn wheat flour
- 60 ml of Nyons olive oil PDO
- 100–120 ml of water
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
Tip
For this grape tart, we recommend using a Nyons PDO olive oil with a subtle flavour, for its aromas of dried fruit, butter, hazelnut, green apple and freshly cut grass. You could also use an olive oil from Nice PDO or a Languedoc AOC olive oil. We also have a recipe for a mirabelle plum tart, made with a Corsican olive oil – Oliu di Corsica – harvested using traditional methods PDO.
Instructions
- Make the pastry by mixing together the two types of flour, the sugar and the salt.
- Add the Nyons olive oil (PDO) and the water, then knead the dough until it forms a ball.
- Roll out the pastry and place it in the tin, cover it with cling film and chill it for 30 minutes.
To make the tart:
- Wash the grapes, then separate the berries.
- Coarsely chop the walnuts.
- Sprinkle the ground hazelnuts over the tart base, then fill generously with the grapes. Pour in 1 tablespoon of Nyons olive oil (PDO), then sprinkle with sugar and scatter over some walnut halves.
- Bake the tart for 40 minutes at around 180°C. By the end of this time, the pastry should be cooked and the grapes should be starting to caramelise.
- Enjoy at room temperature.

We recommend...
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nyons (subtle taste) for its notes of dried fruit and buttery flavour, possibly accompanied by hints of fresh hazelnuts and/or freshly cut grass.
