Premium French Green Olives "Lucques" AOP (L'Oulibo Hospitality Size) - 1.1kg

The “Green Diamond” of Languedoc — Premium Hand-Picked French Olives with Delicate Avocado & Buttery Notes

Not all green olives are created equal. Lucques du Languedoc is one of Southern France’s most distinctive table olives, celebrated by France’s INAO as the “Green Diamond” of Languedoc for its unique character and prized place in French olive culture.

Presented by L’Oulibo, the French olive cooperative established in 1942, these Lucques du Languedoc AOP are 100% French green olives distinguished by their elegant asymmetrical, crescent-like shape, pale flesh and firm yet tender, low-fibre texture.

More than simply the name of an olive variety, Lucques du Languedoc carries the AOP – Appellation d’Origine Protégée designation, linking the olives to their defined geographical origin and strict production specifications. The designation received French AOP recognition in September 2015.

Hand-Picked in Southern France

Lucques du Languedoc olives are harvested by hand, helping protect their delicate skin and characteristic shape. The harvest takes place between September and October.

Once prepared, the whole olives are preserved in brine. This particular product is pasteurised, helping preserve its distinctive qualities while making it suitable for longer storage before opening.

With a generous 1.1 kg drained weight, this format is particularly well suited to entertaining, gatherings and abundant Mediterranean tables.

• The Apéritif Essential: Serve on their own as an elegant appetiser alongside French cheeses, crusty bread and chilled refreshments.
• For Beautiful Salads: An excellent addition to a classic Niçoise salad or fresh Mediterranean vegetable salads.
