Château
de Panisse
Château de Panisse is located in Provence—an olive-growing land par excellence. A region of light, sun, and clear skies, where the Mistral wind blows and the cicadas sing; an enchanting home for our family since 2007.
In the 1930s, eminent guests visited the château, inluding Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Mermoz, Giono, and Pagnol— who even named one of his famous characters Panisse.
The towers of the 15th-century château overlook 15 hectares of olive groves on a unique terroir, a fertile soil rich in silt.
We cultivate 4 typical Provencal varieties: Aglandau, Verdale, Bouteillan, and Salonenque, all thriving in a spacious, airy plantation.
PREMIUM olive OIL
AOP Provence
Strict guidelines certify our olive farm as both Fruité Vert and Noir d’Olives Maturées, qualify for the prestigious protected designation of origin: Appellation d’origine Provence. Both oils are an exquisite blend of our 4 olive varieties. We harvest by hand at the very start of the
season and take the olives immediately to the mill.
While Fruité Vert is cold-pressed within 8 to 16 hours, Noir d’Olive undergoes a traditional Provencal process, stored in oxygen-free containers for light fermentation before cold extraction.
Our olive oils are carefully stored in stainless steel tanks in the château’s cellar. They are bottled on-site as orders come in, ensuring optimal taste and organoleptic qualities.
