A L’Olivier hazelnut oil is made in our Poitou mill (southwest France) in much the same way as our walnut oil. It has the exquisite flavour of roast fruit and is mainly used a dressing for raw vegetables.
It goes particularly well with endive, avocado and tomato salad. We recommend combining it with mature wine or raspberry red wine vinegar. Thanks to its particular flavour, hazelnut oil is also used in patisserie.
available in: 250ml tin
Virgin Argan oil is extracted from the almond of the fruit of the Argan tree, which is a small thorny tree only found in the South West of Morocco (the Essaouira-Agadir region). Rare and precious, this oil has been recognised for centuries by the Berbers of the Atlas Mountains for its gastronomic, nutritional and cosmetic virtues. Our oil is extracted form the first pressing of lightly roasted shelled almonds and is then filtered.
Argan Oil can be used in cold or hot dishes and with savoury, seafood or sweet food. As a salad dressing, we recommend using it with lemon juice.

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.
