Olive oil and chocolate form a surprising but well-known taste association in baking. The ripening of the olives counteracts the bitterness of the dark chocolate and gives a melting texture to the desserts. This is why Villa Bellevue oil is also a great ally for sweet tooths.

A gourmet oil
Also called "the gold of Calissanne", the olives flourish on 60 ha spread over the entire estate. Villa Bellevue enriches a nice collection of four other references, ranging from fruity green oils to matured oils.
Villa Bellevue olive oil (AOP Aix-en-Provence) is made up of equal parts salonenque, aglandau, picholine and verdale. Harvesting is carried out on rotating olives (intermediate stage between green and black olives). Then the olives are stored away from light and air for 6 to 7 days. The fermentation process will reduce the natural ardor of the olive and develop the characteristic notes of maturity.
Villa Bellevue surprises with its cocoa color. Its notes of black olives, tapenade and truffle are characteristic of matured olives obtained through the fermentation process.
The palate is graceful and round, with flavors of blackberry and cocoa. Its taste is reminiscent of tapenade. This tasty olive oil is ideal with grilled fish and cheese, but Villa Bellevue is also a pleasure in combination with chocolate.
