PDO olive oils: excellence is in their nature!
PDO olive oils are distinguished by their extraordinary diversity of flavors and guaranteed traceability, elements that make PDO oils an excellence in the sector. This requirement is supported by specific European regulations, with rigorous controls which, from the olive grove to the tasting, guarantee consumers the purchase of safe and authentic products, ensuring unique tastes.
The great diversity of PDO olive oils and their taste qualities allow them to be used both in traditional dishes of the Mediterranean diet and in creative, modern and innovative cuisine.
The European Union has more than a hundred PDO olive oils, each representative of its terroir, with its own identity. France only produces 4,500 tonnes of olive oil on average (0.16% of world production) but has 8 Protected Designations of Origin: Nyons, Vallée des Baux-de-Provence, Aix-en-Provence Haute-Provence, Nice, Nîmes, Corsica - Oliu di Corsica and Provence.
For the 2021 edition, olive oils with Protected Designation of Origin will be present at Taste of Paris in a space entirely dedicated to taste:
- A tasting area for PDO olive oils: subtle taste, intense taste, old-fashioned taste, there will be something for everyone!
- A "culinary entertainment" area where you will discover olive oils in the kitchen, an ingredient in its own right which brings taste, softness ... in short, which sublimates all kitchens.
- A "Meet the producers" area where you can discuss and discover the products of two PDO olive oil producers every day.
