MÈRE GOUTTE OLIVE OILS _ The origin of the name Mère Goutte ("Mother Drop") dates back to the 19th century. The term referred to the "first drop" escaping from the olive paste spread on the filtering mats, even before the pressing begins. This first drop, the best according to connoisseurs, used to be sold untreated by our company. The name Mère Goutte is now the symbol of the brand, and refers to a cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil of the very best quality. 1 REFERENCE : FRUITÉ VERT IN 3 SIZES : 25 CL - 50 CL - 100 CL

THE COMB IS STILL SOMETIMES USED TO BRING DOWN OLIVES IN NETS

FRUITÉ VERT INTENSE The GREEN FRUITY Mère Goutte is obtained from olives that have not yet reached maturity. It is characterised by an intense, fresh flavour reminiscent of raw artichoke and an aroma of tomato leaves, and has a touch of zest. We recom- mend using it in salad dressing, on white fish and in marinades.
