Le Moulin du Bleu Argent - Huile d'olive Moulin du Bleu Argent

Christophe Tassan’s domaine is nested in the lower south of the Drôme department: the " tree of peace" grows in the heart of Baronnies lands. His olive orchard is located on the Heights above Nyons, dominating the Pre-Alps on the east and the mont Ventoux in the South. The grove benefits from a natural protection against the violent northern mistral wind, and has good sun exposure most of the year, guaranteeing olives and utmost quality, concentration, and aroma.

Christophe has been producing his own olive oil at the « Moulin du Bleu Argent » since 2002: Bleu Argent, or Silver Blue, like the colors reflected on the black olives of the Tanche olive variety, the exclusive variety used to make Nyons oil, the very first oil that was granted an AOC (Appellation d'Origine Controlée). The AOC label awards a product that respects stringent local production and quality requirements.

The oils of Nyons have been acknowledged the AOC label since 1994, and are renowned for their unctuous mildness, and their delicate flavors of hazelnut and almond, their subtle aromas of apple, artichoke, freshly cut straw, all of which are typical scents found in the area, especially around the harvest period which extends from December to January, when the olives are slightly overripe.

	*l'huile d'olive par Christophe Tassan*

	Christophe Tassan’s domaine is nested in the lower south of the Drôme department: the " tree of peace" grows in the heart of Baronnies lands. His olive orchard is located on the Heights above Nyons, dominating the Pre-Alps on the east and the mont Ventoux in the South. The grove benefits from a natural protection against the violent northern mistral wind, and has good sun exposure most of the year, guaranteeing olives and utmost quality, concentration, and aroma. Christophe has been producing his own olive oil at the « Moulin du Bleu Argent » since 2002: Bleu Argent, or Silver Blue, like the colors reflected on the black olives of the Tanche olive variety, the exclusive variety used to make Nyons oil, the very first oil that was granted an AOC (Appellation d'Origine Controlée).

To obtain a quality olive and to succeed in producing a pleasurable oil, an unctuous nectar, Christophe developed his understanding of the olive tree and its cultivation, as well as learned to cope with arid soils, with the changing tempers of the sky and the whims of seasons. Whether it be for the pruning, watering or hand harvest of the olives, our gourmet enthusiast enjoys the sole company of cigales, blazing heat and quivering sunray reflections in the silvery leaves of the olive tree. That is the work Christophe enjoys the most: the work that marks time and shapes the land. There are three varieties, three vintages, of « Moulin du Bleu Argent » olive oils: Fruit, Flower, Leaf. Each was created by Christophe Tassan to harmonize with foods and wines: clearly, Christophe has not forgotten his sommelier art and remembers that a successful meal is an art that succeeds in blending all ingredients and dishes. The three vintages • Cuvée Fruit : delicate, present and long-lasting • Cuvée Fleur : intense, aromatic and mild • Cuvée Feuille : green, sharp and plant reminding
