French Green Lucques Olives 11.8 Oz

In the sun-drenched south of France, one olive is prized above all others, a "green diamond" cherished for its unique shape and incomparably buttery flesh: the Lucques. This treasured cultivar, native to the Languedoc region, is a jewel of French gastronomy. Its history is tied to the terroir; cultivated for centuries, its delicate nature and lower oil yield made it unsuited for pressing, reserving it exclusively as a premium table olive. Our Olives Vertes Lucques are a direct taste of this heritage. Grown in Provence and cured simply in a light brine, the process is designed to preserve the olive's natural perfection. The result is a firm, meaty texture, a gentle sweetness, and a distinct, light nutty flavor. For the upscale Houston wine bar, French bistro, or caterer curating a true apéritif experience, these olives are essential. Their unique crescent shape and vibrant green color add visual elegance to any platter, and in the late August Texas heat, their light, savory bite is a perfectly sophisticated start to an evening.
