Description
- Since 2005 Mas Des Bories has Globally Won 20 Gold or Silver Medals (and mostly GOLD), this doesn't even include Bronze Medals. There are a million olive farmers who would LOVE to win 20 Gold or Silver Medals. Why does a producer rise to the top and not others? A quick read of our new blog Mas Des Bories on WordPress will show you why. Mas des Bories is the brand you should buy when you are seeking the BEST. You want the best, and we work hard to BE the BEST.
- 2017 AOC de Provence is a harmonious blend of our Bouteillan olive oil and our Aglandau Olive Oil. It is a complex and rich olive oil yet light without a bitter aftertaste. If you drink it pure you will find a bit of piquant at the back of your throat, used for dipping or dressing or cooking you do not actually taste the piquant, you just taste the fruity, flowery rich flavor. It's delicious.
- <p>All Olives are Grown on <b>our</b> Olive Farm in Salon de Provence France & pressed on site in our own state of the art mill. See how we do it as described in our new Blog, Mas des Bories on WordPress, Moulin page. Amazon does not permit is to link to it.</p> We put our name on the back labels, look for it.
- Early Harvest. In France this is known as Fruité Vert. Important because the early harvest oil has a richer flavor and more polyphenols. See our new Mas des Bories Blog on WordPress, the Organic and Polyphenols page. Amazon does not permit us to link to it. <p>It is more work to early harvest and produces less oil per kilo of olives than late harvest. Quality vs Quantity, Mas Des Bories focuses on Quality.</p>
- Yearly we test sample a few vats to certify the oil meets the European Union regulation of "Extra Virgin." ALL of our olive oils are way under the max impurity limits of the Extra Virgin Designation. See our new Blog Mas Des Bories on Word Press, the Laboratory Tests Page, to see 5 years of our actual Laboratory Test Results. <p>One reason why is because we filter our oil through sheets of pure cotton. On our Blog see the Filter vs Non Filter page.</p>
What makes Mas Des Bories Olive Oil different, better than other extra virgin olive oils? #1 Start with delicious varietals of olives, olives that naturally produce a wonderful flavorful olive oil. We are fortunate in Provence France to have olive tree varietals that naturally produce beautiful, full, rich, and yet mild olive oils. Mas Des Bories has 4 varietals of olive trees, Aglandau, Bouteillan, Grossane, and Salonenque which is named after our city, Salon de Provence. Just like each varietal of grapes produces wines with a different flavor, each varietals of olive tree produces different tasting extra virgin olive oil. A lot of olive tree produce bitter and or bad tasting olive oil. A crab apple tree is still an apple tree, but its fruit isn't edible. Producing world class premium olive oil starts with the best varietals of olive trees. #2 Pick the olives at the optimal moment of fruit ripeness.
