More informations

Our riped fruity olive oil is an artisanal blend of olives harvested from the orchards of our estate. Immediately after picking, the fruit is cold pressed in order to preserve the natural properties within.

This oil comes mainly from the Salonenque and Aglandau olive varieties native to Provence.

Salonenque is a variety originating from Salon de Provence. It has been cultivated there for hundreds of years and supplies the inhabitants of the region with oil and olives.

Aglandau is found in the Baux valley, in the Gard, and also on the outskirts of Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence.

To make this type of olive oil, we use the same olives that we use to make our fruity green olive oil. However, we harvest the olives for this oil at a later date, which produces a smooth oil with an apple-like aroma.

Pairing

This ‘well-rounded’ and mild oil, with its ripe, fruity flavour, pairs perfectly with delicate and refined dishes. Whether used raw or cooked, it can be enjoyed every day with all kinds of savoury and sweet dishes:

Savoury dishes: It is excellent for complementing grilled vegetables and fish.

Desserts & sweet treats: It is ideal for use in desserts as a substitute for butter in your baking recipes, and complements fresh fruit dishes, such as a strawberry salad, to perfection.

Tasting advice

Olive oil is a living product that does not go off, but requires careful handling. Unlike wine, it does not improve with age: it is a fresh fruit juice best enjoyed within a year.

To ensure it retains all its nutritional properties and its precious ‘green fruit’ notes, be sure to protect it from its three enemies: light, air and heat. Simply store it in a cool cupboard and remember to close the cap tightly after each use.

environmental initiatives

Having been committed to sustainable and responsible viticulture for many years — recognised by the High Environmental Value (HVE) label — Virant is now taking a new step forward with an ambitious agro-ecological transition, centred on restoring and maintaining soil life.

Plant cover, limiting inputs, and encouraging natural beneficial organisms: every practice is designed to nurture the estate’s biodiversity and strengthen the natural balance of our 46 hectares of olive groves.

Awards

This well-rounded blend continues to demonstrate its consistency and excellence year after year, having notably distinguished itself during the 2025 season by winning a prestigious Gold Crown at the Southern Region Olive Oil Competition.
