Olive Oils

Premium Olive Oil

The Premium Olive Oil represents the very essence of Château Léoube's production. Crafted from a carefully balanced blend of Italian olive varieties, including Frantoio and Pendolino, together with traditional Provençal varieties such as Aglandau and Picholine, all grown on the estate, it offers remarkable freshness, elegance and finesse.

OLIVE GROVE : The estate's olive groves extend across more than 20 hectares, home to over 4,700 olive trees. Cultivated exclusively on the Château Léoube estate, the orchards are managed using traditional farming methods, including meticulous soil cultivation to promote healthy tree development and maintain the natural balance of the ecosystem. This careful stewardship allows each olive to fully express the unique character of Léoube's Mediterranean terroir.

HARVEST : The olives are harvested at their optimal ripeness using electric combs and collection nets, ensuring the utmost care for both the trees and the fruit. Immediately after picking, they are transported to the mill to preserve their freshness and delicate aromatic qualities.

The olives are then carefully washed, crushed and slowly malaxed at a low temperature. This cold extraction process preserves their natural compounds while revealing the full richness and complexity of their aromas. Once the ideal malaxation time has been reached, the oil is gently separated from the water and olive solids, resulting in an exceptionally pure extra virgin olive oil that faithfully reflects the unique terroir of Château Léoube.

AT THE TABLE : Perfect for enhancing salads, raw vegetables and light starters, this olive oil delivers remarkable aromatic complexity with elegant notes of fresh artichoke complemented by a subtle hint of Mediterranean herbs.

TASTING NOTES : Best enjoyed uncooked, it is delicious drizzled over garlic-rubbed toasted bread or used to elevate a tomato salad, artichoke hearts with Parmesan, or fresh goat's cheese. It also pairs beautifully with seafood carpaccios, including salmon, sea bream and scallops, bringing freshness and finesse to every dish.
