« We must put aside convential wisdom : that fine wine could only be French, or that fine caviar would only come from the Caspian Sea, a fine olive oil is not necessarily Italian. The proof ? L'Huile H from Domaine Leos, in the Vaucluse region. I tasted this oil and it proved to be a great moment of pleasure. This oil is largely at the level of the best products that I could have tasted in Italy. An exceptional terroir, carefully selected and harvested varieties of olives, the processing know-how : Patrick Bruel has decided to strive for excellence. And he has suceeded. »

“It’s a very perfumed oil, very pronounced green
flavor (dandelion), slight taste of fresh thyme, black-peppered or even peppered
flavor on the finish… I’ve seasoned a salad with it: it was perfect without
salt, without pepper, just plain. It was also delightful when matched with goat
cheese. So, it’s an excellent product!”

oil… aromas of leaves of artichoke, dandelion flowers, hints of rocket salad
and garrigue herbs. That’s L’Huile H! Perfect with the arrival of spring, and

« “L’Huile Originelle H, of Domaine Leos, is a rare oil
of remarkable intensity”. Bewitching and ethereal, the nose reveals a smell of
flowers, fresh aromatic herbs and of citrus fruits. On the palate, it has
almost a root intensity which reminds of fresh ginger and which gives an
acid-like dimension to its smoothness. It’s the
seasoning-oil on all counts that can enhance the flavors of vegetables, fish,
poultry, goat cheese and even fruits”.

« “What
we have here is an olive oil dominated by Aglandau, the main variety in
Provence. Elegant, the nose is defined by vegetal freshness and aromas of green
bananas. In the palate, this strong “green fruit” taste is truly manifest with
notes of artichoke and almond, accompanied by bitterness and intensity which
tell of optimum freshness and maturity.”

« “This
oil has a golden color which suggests a nice juice of fresh olives! The nose
reveals artichoke and grassy notes and strong hints of fresh mowed grass and
citrus in the palate. I’ve noticed a slight bitterness and a pronounced
intensity with a long and peppery finish.”

« La dégustation était un vrai plaisir : beau packaging, odeur vive de pédoncule de tomate, robe d'un vert tendre rafraîchissant, en bouche une très belle attaque végétale, suave amertume, persistance aromatique soutenue avec une note épicée en fin de bouche. Une très belle image pour l'huile de Provence. Un grand bravo!

«
Beautiful discovery of a wonderful nectar of what olives can give best. L'Huile H is a real velvet for the most delicate palates.Under tis intense tinted bronze coloring, a surprisingly complex bouquet unveils itself. It is an admirable balance between richness and finesse, opulence and freshness. Its subtle fruity and spicy flavor, supported by a slight bitterness and a restrained fieriness, leaves a pleasant memory of purity and harmony.L'Huile H will match perfectly with vegetables, fine fish, goat cheese... A light drizzle of this aromatic concentrate will suffice to season these delicacies, and evoke the sweetest memories of summer vacation. »

« “Intense
nose, fresh and grassy, with a fragrance of wet grass and garrigue followed by
hints of avocado, sweet almond and banana. The palate is round, moderately
intense and ardent, with a long and balanced bitterness. Palate confirms the
notes revealed by the nose, but with a real taste of olive!”

«
En visitant les oliveraies de la propriété, les différentes variétés d'olives minutieusement choisies témoignent d'une réelle volonté de recherche de la perfection.Lors de la dégustation on découvre la pertinence du choix des assemblages d'où nait un équilibre parfait et judicieux qui donne une huile à la fois verte et fruitée, aromatique et ardente laissant une touche délicate poivrée en fin de bouche; plus qu'une huile d'olive, je dirais un condiment aromatique gorgé de soleil au caractère bien marqué qui caractérise notre belle région.Je ne saurais que vous inviter à découvrir cette huile gorgée de soleil, assaisonner une belle salade, monter un pistou, une brandade ou un aioli... ou encore simplement sur un fromage de chèvre frais.. Laissez ce nectar accompagner vos envies...

Restaurant La Table de Xavier Mathieu ( 1 étoile Michelin) à Joucas.
« L'Huile H is an aromatic and very balanced oil with
intense aromas which gives it a very long and enjoyable finish. Tasting it
feels like a walk in a garden. Hints of fresh grass are released with a floral
touch. However, it is an intense oil with a peppered flavor on the finish –
thanks to antioxidants – which contributes to its structure in the palate. It
is characterized by a fresh note which gives it smoothness and harmony.
