Produced from the prized Cailletier olive and protected by the prestigious A.O.P. Huile d'Olive de Nice designation, this exceptional extra virgin olive oil is a benchmark of the French Riviera. Cold extracted exclusively by mechanical means, it embodies the distinctive "ripe fruity" style for which Nice olive oil is renowned. Exceptionally elegant and complex, it reveals a broad aromatic palette led by sweet almond, followed by nuanced notes of raw artichoke, wildflowers, hay, fresh grass, dried fruit, pastry, ripe apple, and lemon. A gentle peppery finish and delicate hint of bitterness provide remarkable balance and length.
Best enjoyed as a finishing oil, it brings extraordinary depth to grilled fish, roasted vegetables, salads, fresh goat cheese, burrata, and artisan bread. It also elevates simple pasta, steamed potatoes, and Mediterranean dishes, where its refined flavor can truly shine. A drizzle over ripe tomatoes or delicate white fish is all that's needed to appreciate one of France's finest olive oils.
Since 1848, Moulin d'Opio has been producing olive oil in the heart of Provence and has remained in the Michel family for seven generations. Once powered by the waters of the Brague River, the historic mill now combines traditional expertise with modern extraction techniques to preserve the exceptional character of the region's olives. As one of the last traditional olive mills in the Alpes-Maritimes, Moulin d'Opio continues to uphold the heritage and craftsmanship that define the celebrated Huile d'Olive de Nice A.O.P.
