The olive has been a mainstay of Provencal cuisine for centuries, used in dishes ranging from pissaladiere to Nicoise salad and even to flavor pastries and cakes. Perhaps the most famous of French olives, the picholine is medium-green with a shiny skin and firm flesh. Cultivated in the South of France, principally in Gard, these crisp olives have a "green" taste with a hint of pistachios. They are especially good with an apéritif liquor.

The Barral company has produced olives and olive oil since 1883, specializing in the olives from Provence.
