The Best of "Picholine de l'Atlas"

The picholine olive trees grows in the heart of the Atlas mountains, benefitting from both mediterranean and mountain climates. The romans first spotted the site and established the region as one of the most famous olive region.

Some of the trees are more than half a century old and its fruits - the Atlas Picholine Olive - has a very specific taste as well as an exceptional quality which allows the extraction of a premium oil with a very high level of fruit and phenol.

The Atlas mountains is one of the very few olive region in the world whereby the cultivation process has remained mainly organic based on techniques that can trace back to the Romans, with a harvest mostly reaped by hand.

Once the olives mature, the collection is made with great care to preserve the quality of the future oil and prevent oxidation and or fermentation of the olive.

The olives are moltured on cold in drasticly clean conditions. We strongly believe the low acidity is one of the key factor to the flavorous and superior tasting of our olive oil. As such, Monaliva extra virgin olive oil is the result.

Through sense of sight we can appreciate the color of the oil related to the date of harvest. The sense of smell allows to acknoledge the fruity flavours and taste and touch allows to caracterize the bitter and the pungeant of the olives, both of them key quality factors.
