The Lucques olive is sometimes referred to as the “Languedoc olive” or “Languedoc green olive” due to its association with the region where it is predominantly grown. Also, these olives have other names: Lucquoise or Luquoise, Oliva Lucchese, Oliverolle, Olivier de Lucques, Olivier Odorant, and Plant du Languedoc.
The Lucques olive is characterized by its unique elongated shape and vibrant green color. It has a firm, meaty texture and is prized for its rich, buttery flavor with a hint of nuttiness. The olives are typically harvested when they are still green and unripe to capture their distinctive taste.
Lucques olives are primarily used as table olives due to their excellent flavor profile. They are often served as a snack or appetizer, either on their own or marinated with herbs, spices, or citrus zest. Their mild yet distinctive taste makes them a popular choice among olive connoisseurs.
