Château Virant

Château Virant is a family-run business. In the 1950s, they were the first in France to cultivate both olive groves and vineyards and make use of both for commercial production.The olives are cold-pressed on the property the same day they're picked, and the oil is kept in stainless steel vats with balloon-like coverings, protecting the contents from any exposure. The groves are maintained throughout the year with great care. Chateau Virant's strict procedures in crop management, harvest, handling of the fruit, and speed of oil production results in top-ranking in lab analysis by the French and European authorities.
