It was a few weeks ago, when we had a lovely diner at Peter & Suzy’s place. You know, the guys from design heaven ‘DESIGN BLABLA’.
When we asked for the secrets behind Suzy’s mouth watering dessert, they popped this olive/almond oil on the table.
This oil, made since 1878 somewhere in the south of France, was flavored with almonds and prunes. The taste was so powerful, so delicate, so we took a spoon and tasted it pure. Great pure taste, sun ripped and velvety soft. The secret of this Le Blanc L’Huillerie? Artisanal nut oils, pressed at a stone mill in Burgundy.
Later that evening we tasted lustrous gold, bronze and copper tones of grilled groundnut, almond, hazelnut, walnut, pine kernel and sesame oil, or the cool green of olive, pistachio and rapeseed oil…
Next trip to France, we make a detour for some ‘shopping de l’huile’.

For the ones that don’t want to wait till their next vacation, can visit the shop in Paris.
