Frequently Asked Questions

What does the PDO Vallée des Baux-de-Provence designation mean? It’s a Protected Designation of Origin, a legal French/EU status confirming the olives were grown, and the oil produced, within a defined area of the Baux-de-Provence valley under set production rules, not just a marketing label.

What olives go into this blend? Five varieties: Picholine, Béruguette, Salonenque, Bouteillan, and Grossane, all grown on the estate.

Is it genuinely organic-certified? Château d’Estoublon describes an organic growing protocol. We have not independently confirmed a named third-party certification body for this specific PDO bottling, worth verifying with the estate if you want to state “certified organic” rather than “organic protocol.”

When is it harvested? Early November through mid-December, with pressing within 24 hours of picking to preserve freshness.
