Olive Oil with Citron

Producer: CastelaS Origin: Provence, France

This olive oil is obtained by simultaneously crushing olives (mainly of the Salonenque variety) and fresh Corsican citrons. The olives and citron blend at the beginning of the oil production process rather than during a post-production infusion. The Corsican citrons are known for their exceptional fragrance which develops as the fruit matures.  These characteristics then transfer to the olive oil.
