Lucques Royales (also known as the Rolls Royce of olives) are a rare variety of olive grown in the region around Carcassonne, in the South Western corner of France. As well as being unusual, the variety is also difficult to harvest by machine, making it extremely labour intensive. This unique olive has a light, nutty taste, crescent shape and bright green colour. They have a gentle flavour, tasting similar to fresh almonds and avocados and they have an appley texture – ideal for olive novices and connoisseurs alike!
