Description
At the foot of the castle of Les Baux de Provence, Moulin Castelas produces a olive oil flavored with fresh garlic from Piolenc. A very mild oil with flavors of fresh garlic from Piolenc. A treat for the taste buds !
Oil flavored with fresh garlic from Piolenc
This flavored olive oil differs from anything commercially available because it is not an infused oil.. In effect, Moulin Castelas adds fresh Piolenc garlic directly to the olives during crushing and oil extraction. No natural or artificial flavoring is added. The organic aromatics added during the grinding give the’Castile oil an amazing aroma. A few drops of aromatic garlic oil on mashed potatoes, or a leg of lamb and your simplest dish will be transformed into a gourmet dish !
Here are some ideas for using garlic flavored olive oil :
- salad dressing : mix garlic flavored olive oil with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make a garlic dressing. Spread it over a tomato and feta salad or a vegetable quinoa salad.
- Marinade for meat or fish : mix garlic flavored olive oil with lemon juice and mustard to make a tasty marinade. Marinate chicken or fish fillets in this marinade before grilling or baking them.
- Filling for sandwiches : spread garlic flavored olive oil on country bread and garnish with tomato slices, ham and mozzarella to make garlic panini sandwiches.
- Dressing for grilled vegetables : mix garlic flavored olive oil with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make a garlic dressing. Drizzle over grilled vegetables before serving.
Moulin Castiles
Le Castelas mill in Les Baux de Provence 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..
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.
The benefits of olive oil
Olive oil is a powerful antioxidant recommended by nutritionists. It is also very rich in vitamin E.. Recommended against hypertension and diabetes, it will also promote transit. The Mediterranean diet which consists of eating mainly vegetables, fish and olive oil has proven itself, but it is however necessary to use a quality oil such as those produced by the Moulin Castelas.
