At Château Virant, a land of fruity greens par excellence, we've chosen to break new ground by revisiting an ancestral method once mastered by our region's greatest master millers: the production of a virgin olive oil from matured olives, also known as goût à l'ancienne.

This traditional know-how is based on natural, controlled fermentation of the olives, revealing deep, bewitching aromas of black tapenade, cocoa and undergrowth. This unique profile, both sweet and complex, is increasingly appealing to our loyal customers, as well as to many chefs in search of forgotten flavors, seeking a sensory link with the culinary memory of the Mediterranean.

This project was born of our desire to highlight the richness of our orchard and to take our mastery of olives a step further, exploring all the facets of this noble fruit. It embodies both tradition and innovation, rooted in local history while responding to today's taste aspirations.
