Castelines organic black olive oil AOP
The domain matters 45 hectares of olive trees on the slopes of the Alpilles, including varieties of’AOP Valley of Les Baux de Provence : Salonenque, Aglandau, Grossane and Verdale. A large part of the orchard is in organic farming without any chemical or synthetic products. The olive trees are treated with Kaolin, a natural white clay mixed with water, in order to disorient “Fly”, main disease of olive trees in Provence.
Matured olive oil
Just like green fruitiness, the olives are picked “green” at the end of the year. The difference, is that they are stored away from light, at a monitored temperature to ripen them. This typical method of the Alpilles gives the oil a very mild flavor and aromas of ripe fruit or cooked artichokes. These so-called oils “old” are used at the end of cooking on poultry, fish or simply on a tomato. Be careful not to “bake” with the risk of losing all its flavors.
Moulin Castiles
Le moulin castiles was built in 2002 to control the entire chain in the production of olive oil. The joint work of the olive grower and the millers makes it possible to design oils of very high quality combining tradition and modernity with a mill designed with the most efficient tools to extract the nectar from the olive..
