Miraval, Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2016 Provence, France Miraval, Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2016 Provence, France PRODUCER Château Miraval is located in the Provence village of Correns, the first 100% organic village in France. All of the crops, including grapes, are grown organically in this wild and picturesque village. The terraced vineyards and Olive Trees are at 350 metres altitude, resulting in cool nights that moderate the warm days which in turn help the olives to ripen perfectly. OLIVE GROVES The olive tree is part of the Mediterranean basin history. At Miraval, the olive trees are cultivated in the purest tradition, grown on terraces of dry stone which reflect the sun, therefore enabling the olives to mature perfectly. The estate is farmed organically. The soils are tended to regularly, ensuring that they stay aerated and porous. The finished olive oil is a blend of: Verdale, Pichouline, Tanche, Lucques, Aglandau, Cayon and Arboussane. HARVEST After a rather standard spring in terms of rainfall (170mm) came a hot and dry summer, with temperatures regularly over 37°C. From mid-June to mid-August the total rainfall amounted to less than 60mm, which is low compared to the hours of sunshine -1941 hours over six months from April to September. These favourable weather conditions meant that the crop reached ripeness in excellent conditions. The altitude of the olive fields helped keep a very good balance. PRODUCTION Miraval Olive Oil is Extra-Virgin and is made from the first cold press, giving the oil a fresh and pure character. TASTING NOTES A smooth and velvety oil, with notes of almond, hazelnut and artichoke on the nose. The palate is pungent and peppery with Olive Varieties 15% Cayon flavours of freshly cut grass. The finish is long, succulent and spicy 15% Lucques with a mild astringency, giving it beautiful balance. 15% Pichouline 15% Tanche 15% Verdale 10% Arboussanne Arboussanne Closure Other Bottle Sizes 50cl.

  • La Variété Aglandau Et L'olive Aglandale
    La variété Aglandau et l’olive Aglandale L'Aglandau règne sur toute la Haute-Provence mais son territoire s'étend bien au-delà : il est aussi la principale variété du Vaucluse et s'étend historiquement, dans des proportions diverses, dans les Bouches-du- Rhône et dans nombreuses localités du Var. En revanche, on ne le trouve pas en rive droite du Rhône. Depuis la fin du vingtième siècle, l'Aglandau a été planté quasiment partout dans le midi de la France, sauf dans les Alpes-maritimes et le Nyonsais, territoires respectifs du Cailletier et de l’olivier Tanche. Sa part dans la production oléicole française est estimé à 25% ; ce qui le place à les premières variétés à huile. L’Aglandau est la variété, d’olivier, la plus résistante au froid, c’est la seule variété des contreforts de Lure et des plateaux d’Albion et de Valensole, on le trouve dans les adrets du pays Dignois, sur les versants ensoleillés du Sisteronais , du Jabron et du Laragnais … De part sa résistance au froid c’est la seule variété adaptée aux climats rude l’hiver des Alpes de Haute Provence, des Hautes Alpes, du nord du Var et du Vaucluse. Morphologiquement, on pourrait dire que l'Aglandau est "moyen" pour tous les descripteurs. En effet, il s'agit d'un arbre moyen, de vigueur moyenne, aux fruits de taille moyenne, moyennement allongés et moyennement pointus… Peut-être est-ce parce qu'il s'agit de la variété la plus courante que nous avons pris l'habitude de la prendre pour référence.

  • Olive Oil Production in the Var Region of France, May, 1995
    Olive Oil Production in the Var Region of France, May, 1995 In the south of France there are approximately 60 oil mills and cooperatives processing and retailing local olive oil today. They have a long history and tell the story of when olives were the dominant agricultural crop of the area. The Var region is at the center of what was once a thriving olive oil empire producing thousands of tons of olive oil each year. A devastating freeze in 1956 killed all of the olive trees down to the ground and most farmers replanted with the more profitable wine grapes for which France is so well known. Most of the mills in the region today still use the low technology stone mills and decantation processes their ancestors used. Unfortunately they have trouble finding enough olives nearby to sell much more than just to local residents, who bring their own olives for pressing. Mills that have modern equipment supplement their investment by bringing in olives from Spain and selling olive crafts, soaps, and canned table fruit in stores and restaurants adorned with antique processing equipment. Statistically, France is not a major producer of olive oil, processing an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 tons of olives in 1994. The Var region Chamber of Commerce economic development bulletin lists 11,136 farms in the region with an average size of just under 20 acres each. Vineyards represent 43% of the land and 47% of the earnings, cut flower production occurs on 1% of the land and represents 36% of the earnings.

  • Genetic and Environmental Features for Oil Composition in Olive Varieties

Olive oils vary in their fatty acid profiles as well as those of other secondary metabolites (phenols, sterols, and terpene compounds). We seek to distinguish the genetic bases from the environmental factors that cause these variations. The genetic base is indeed wide: varieties originate in different domestication occurrences, from different oleaster trees and in differing climatic regimes. With the aid of diagrams, we set out briefly the oil synthesis pathway for fruits in comparison with that of seeds, and the specific aspects of olive oil in particular. Varieties of olive have appeared that are adapted to regions with harsh conditions where the oleaster could not thrive. Environmental stresses have consequences on drupes and their oil profiles; these have been highlighted in European countries through the use of appellations. Whilst stresses tend to enhance the quality of the end product, they do however decrease final yields with potential negative impacts on olive growers’ incomes.

Rue du 1er Juin, Tafala, Sousse Tunisie. 3Centre Régional des Recherches en Horticulture et Agriculture Biologique, Chott-mariem, Sousse, Tunisia _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Olives are one of the largest crops in the Mediterranean region, especially in Tunisia. This research assessed the performance of 19 cultivars of olives in rainfed conditions in the region of Chott Mariem during the 2010 to 2013 crop years. Average rainfall for those years was 422 mm in the area. In this study, varietal differences were considered in terms of yield, physical characteristics of the fruit and the oil content. The cultivars examined had their origins in Tunisia, Italy, Spain, France and Morocco. The effect of variety was highly significant (p < 0.05) for all traits. Based on our results, ‘Meski’, ‘Roumi’, ‘Besbessi’, ‘Picholine’ and ‘Lucques’ produced the highest cumulative yield over the four years of study. The largest fruits were given by ‘Tounsi’ and ‘Ascolana’, averaging respectively 7,98 and 6,09 g, whereas ‘Chemlali’ (0,74 g) and ‘Chetoui’ (1,91 g) had the smallest ones. The highest oil content was in ‘Picholine’ (19,62%), ‘Fougi’ (17,42%), ‘Chemlali’ (14,34%) and ‘Chemchali’ (14,05%).

Parmi les outils d'évaluation des systèmes et de leurs conséquences, l'analyse de cycle de vie (ACV) dérivée de la pensée cycle de vie s'est imposée comme la méthode la plus adaptée à un tel niveau de décision. Historiquement focalisée sur les impacts environnementaux, l'ACV a naturellement étendue son champ d'évaluation aux aspects économiques, sociaux et d'ingénierie pour devenir une analyse de la durabilité (AdCV) des systèmes. L'AdCV est ainsi en train d'émer- ger et nécessite des propositions d'améliorations méthodologiques et des applications concrètes pour devenir robuste et applicable.
