Olive and olive oil

Evergreen tree with  two-coloured leaves, green on one side and grey on the other, the olive tree is the symbol of Provence and creates extraordinary landscapes in the Baronnies region. The "tanche", or black olive from Nyons, is harvested from December to January, by hand or with "combs". In the mill, the big ones are "confites" to eat and the small ones are pressed to make oil: a pure juice of the fruit which benefits from the AOC label (a quality control of the origin of the fruit).
