"Mère Goutte" — the first drops of oil to fall from the olive paste before pressing even begins — has been A L'Olivier's hallmark of quality since the 19th century. This first drop was deemed the best by connoisseurs. Medium-fruity with citrus, cut grass, and herb aromas, and a clean, leafy, arugula-like finish.

SERVING & PAIRING IDEAS
• Toss with mixed greens or haricots verts. Dress a potato-mussel salad with tarragon. Soak roasted peppers in it with garlic and basil overnight.
