important as they offer a solution for the delicate situation of the extremely short pollination period for the Lucques variety. In addition, the high number of days of strong wind reinforces the drought effect in summer and in winter and refreshes the ambient atmosphere in winter. This phenomenon peculiar to the Languedoc causes late frosts in March to April, particularly in areas where the soil is cold. The Olivire variety, which is well resistant to cold, is particularly suited to these climatic characteristics, the care provided by olive growers who, from production to processing, have adapted their practices to the varieties, through:
the choice of suitable lands to maximise yields preferably south-facing, and on slopes to allow good drainage, the introduction of sufficient numbers of pollinators in the parcels, the choice of harvest date based on the proper ripening of the olives. The fact that the olives are harvested at the average ripeness point, when 40 to 70 % of the olives have turned yellowy-green, contributes to the specificities of the product mild bitterness, pungency between 1 and 3, specific aromas.
the leaving of an optimum interval between harvesting and processing to obtain a specific high-quality oil;
the blending of the two main varieties present in the geographical area.
All these combined elements make it possible to produce an oil which owes its reputation to its quality of fruitiness.
