Set of 2 x 500ml top-quality French Extra Virgin olive oils

Two châteaux, two styles, one beautiful French duet

France may not be the first country everyone thinks of when it comes to olive oil, but Provence produces some exceptionally elegant extra virgin olive oils. In this set we bring together two of our personal favourites.

On one side is the refined Château d’Estoublon Salonenque: smooth, subtle and unmistakably Provençal. On the other is organic Château Margüi: complex, aromatic and produced on the estate that forms part of George Lucas’ Skywalker Estate.

So this is not a competition. The contrast is precisely what makes the set interesting.

Château d’Estoublon’s Salonenque shows the elegant side of Provençal olive oil. No harsh bitterness or pronounced pepperiness, but finesse, smoothness and a refined fruity character.

An oil that works beautifully with fish, delicate vegetables, salads, light starters, fresh cheeses and good bread.

This is exactly the kind of olive oil that does not take over a dish, but simply makes it that little bit better.

Château Margüi brings a completely different story to the table. This organic AOP olive oil from Provence comes from the estate that is part of George Lucas’ Skywalker Estate.

Its flavour is smooth and fruity yet aromatic and complex, with delicate floral notes and nuances of nuts and fresh almond.

A galaxy far, far away? Not quite. Just Provence. May the fruit be with you.

Both oils come from Provence, yet their characters are clearly different. Estoublon’s Salonenque is refined, gentle and subtle. Margüi offers greater aromatic complexity and its own distinctive Provençal style.

Tasting them side by side shows just how much variation can exist within one country and even within one region. A small French olive oil tasting at your own kitchen table.

Château d’Estoublon is one of Provence’s best-known and most stylish olive oil estates. Château Margüi adds a completely different story: a historic French estate with an unexpected Hollywood connection.

Together they make two bottles that not only taste wonderful, but also give you something to talk about at the table. And that often makes a good bottle even more enjoyable.

From aperitif to dinner

With this duo you have two elegant oils with plenty of versatility. Try the Salonenque with fish, burrata, delicate salads, vegetables and light pasta dishes.

Margüi works beautifully with salads, roasted vegetables, meat, fish and bread and has enough character to be tasted on its own as well.

Put both bottles on the table at the same time and let everyone choose for themselves. There is a good chance the conversation about olive oil suddenly becomes much more serious than expected.

Two special French extra virgin olive oils from two prestigious Provençal estates also make this set an excellent gift.

For an enthusiastic home cook, Francophile, olive-oil lover or Star Wars fan. The latter gets a free conversation starter with the Margüi.
