Selected by Le Delas for its exceptional finesse and certified origin, this fully ripe Lucques olive represents the pinnacle of French olive growing. Le Delas' choice highlights a fruit harvested black from the tree from the end of October onwards, when it develops its full aromatic complexity and characteristic texture.
Recognisable by its crescent moon shape, the black Lucques olive is distinguished by its tender, generous flesh that easily detaches from the pit. Its naturally delicate flavour profile is enhanced here by a hint of herbes de Provence, creating a perfect harmony between the sweetness of the ripe olive and the aromatic notes of the garrigue. Le Delas' rigorous selection process guarantees a product picked exclusively by hand by passionate olive growers, using traditional preparation methods that preserve the integrity of the fruit.
