The Cailletier olive is only grown in the south of France, in the Alpes-Maritimes region, north of the beautiful city of Nice. That's why she is also known as "Niçoise". It shouldn't be missing from the Salade Niçoise either!
The Cailletier olives are relatively small, oval and, depending on the degree of ripeness, are medium green to dark. In terms of taste, it is aromatic with a quite bitter note. A small olive of great quality!

If the olives are harvested when fully ripe, the oil is very mild; if they are still a little unripe, the oil can be very aromatic. Try the mild olive oil made from Cailletier olives right here – one of our best sellers!
Note: since the olives are not pasteurized, a fine white layer may form on the surface after opening. This does not mean that the product has spoiled, but is a natural process. You can simply skim off the layer.
