Located in: Oil/Vinegar, Olive Oil

Bouteillan is a light golden oil. This extra virgin olive oil opens up on the palate with citrus and sweetly floral, grassy notes. Bottling only the first cold pressing oil, Bouteillan's nose carries the faintest aromas of almonds and green herbs. All of Mas Des Bories olive oils are bottled according to traditional Provence farming methods with native trees, producing an oil that is robust and smooth without a bitter aftertaste.

In the low Alps mountain range of France, encompassing a valley and the surrounding hillsides, Mas Des Bories is the perfect environment for the nurturing of olives. The rocky, but fertile soil, with the wild thyme, laurel, and lavender produces wonderful, fruity light golden oil, which is unique in the entire world. This year, Mas des Bories, Bouteillan, and AOC won gold Medals at Hamburg, Germany's International Olive Oil Competition. Mas Des Bories extra virgin olive oils have won Best in Show at the Los Angeles County Fair; in Avignon, France; as well as gold medals in Marseille, Paris, and Munich.

This is a second variety of this brand of EVOO I have had. This product could and should be used in every case of using EVOO. It has a wonderful aroma and light fruity flavor.

Went to an olive oil tasting in Provence. After returning home, ordered three olive oils from igourmet and had a "local tasting". All were delicious, but this one was chosen by the majority as favorite.

If the Bouteillan Extra Virgin Olive Oil that Mas Des Bories produces was a wine, it would be a "First Growth" for sure. I am very impressed with the quality, peppery flavor and finish of this oil I will use it often.

This exceptional oil has a light fruity and floral taste. It is a perfect oil for dipping a fresh crusty bread, or drizzled over greens and vegetables. It definitely deserved the gold medals it received in 2007. Outstanding EVOO!

Comments about Mas Des Bories: Bouteillan Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

This olive oil is how olive oil should taste. I have tried other oils over a wide range of prices and they all pretty much taste the same. This one is different. Put some in a spoon and enjoy. I can't say I would do that with any other olive oil.
