Language: French
Description: A variety of mainly green olive, though they are occasionally available black, from Languedoc. The green ones are a bright, fresh green. Lucques are elongated in shape and curved. They have a smooth skin and sweet, warm, buttery flavour. The black ones, actually reddish brown, are harvested ripe from the end of November to January.
