Green Lucques Olives
The Mont Ramus mill specializes in the production of green table olives. In our region, the specialty is the Lucca olive. Recognized as one of the finest olives, it is found on the finest tables. With its crescent-shaped pit, the Lucca olive is instantly recognizable. They are harvested in September, by hand, one by one, sorted, graded, then prepared and preserved in brine. The Lucca olive is very fleshy and does not require flavoring; it is almost always natural (olives, water, salt).
The New Harvest of Lucques
Lucques olives harvested in September can be consumed about two weeks after harvest. During the first three months following harvest, we can market our olives under the "New Harvest" label. Lucques "New Harvest," like a new wine, has unique characteristics. It expresses the greenness and authentic taste of green olives. After a few weeks, the aromas evolve, moving toward almond. The texture of the initially crunchy flesh becomes finer and butterier.
