Olives Noires de Nyons AOC
'Nyons' is the name given to the Tanche olives grown in and around the town of Nyons in Provence. Distinguished by their large pits, sweet meaty flavor, and lack of bitterness, Nyons olives are special enough to have earned their own AOC.
Store your olives in the fridge where they will last up to a month. It is common for the lids of the tubs to 'blow', which is just a sign that these raw, unpasteurised olives are 'alive' and will carry on slowly fermenting and producing gas unless they are kept very cold.
