AOP Vallée des Baux-de-Provence EVOO – Elegant & Herbal, Cold-Extracted
Description
Olive trees nestled in the sun-drenched landscape of Les Baux in Provence, produce CastelaS Classic, a refined expression of the Provencal terroir. Jean-Benoît and Catherine Hugues cultivate four traditional olive varieties—Aglandau, Grossane, Salonenque, and Verdale—across 40 hectares of estate-owned groves. Hand-harvested early in the season and cold-extracted within 24 hours, this AOP oil captures the floral and herbal brightness of the region.
