The story of A L'Olivier began in 1822 in the Marais district in the heart of Paris.
Mr Popelin, a pharmacist at the time, decided to set up a stall devoted to olive oil. This pioneering man of vision was already aware in 1822 of modern press claims that are bolstered by extensive scientific studies : the Green Gold is an elixir. For years he vaunted the merits of olive oil to Parisians and in time the firm became the haunt of lovers of the Mediterranean art of living.
Our oil is obtained from three varieties: the Aglandau, which is the dominant variety, gives fruitiness and suppleness with its artichoke and almond flavours. The Tanche reinforces the perfume, and the Picholine gives character. The olives are harvested later here than at Aix en Provence and the fruit flavour is riper. It possesses an overall spiciness with a pleasant peppery aftertaste.
