    The oil produced at Moulin Saint Jean is a premium quality oil classed as Extra Virgin. At the mill you will be able to sample     flawless oils with subtly different colours, fragrances and flavours resulting from the blend of 5 varieties of olives.
  There are 3 types of olive oils :
  - “green fruity”olive oil, obtained from green and black olives freshly picked at the beginning of the harvest and processed within a few hours    following their arrival at the mill. This oil has a predominantly floral and fruity flavour, with herbaceous aromas evoking artichokes and freshly
   cut grass in spring.
  -
“ripe fruity”olive oil, obtained from green and black olives freshly picked and processed quickly. This oil is a blend of all the varieties picked    throughout the harvest. Its taste is soft at first with a hint of almond and hazelnut followed by the aroma of artichoke. This is a balanced oil
   ideal for mixed salads and vegetable dishes.
  -
“black fruity”olive oil, obtained from green and black olives which have been stored for a time before processing to allow them to develop a    more mature taste. This oil has a floral and fruity aroma combining the taste of ripe olives with a hint of mushroom, cocoa and undergrowth    depending on the area. It is ideal for use as a seasoning in cold starters and/or as a flavouring for grilled food.

  * The Picholine olives account for a maximum of 10% of the olives used to produce the AOC des Baux de Provence.

  The yield of the olives depends on the maturity and the variety of the olives.
  These 5 varieties are not harvested at the same time as they mature at varying times.
