Nicolas Alziari Cuvée Prestige | The Finest Olive Oil from Nice
For over 100 years, Nicolas Alziari has been producing olive oil from their historic mill in Nice — one of the most celebrated and long-established olive oil producers in France. Their Cuvée Prestige is their flagship: a subtle blend of exceptional European olive varieties, harvested at full ripeness (mures) to produce an oil of incomparable sweetness, finesse and aromatic complexity. With an acidity below 0.3° — well below the 0.8° maximum for extra virgin classification — this is an oil of outstanding quality. Fruity, sweet and endlessly nuanced, it's as beautiful drizzled over raw vegetables as it is in a finished dish.
Ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (100%).

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Nicolas Alziari?
Nicolas Alziari is one of France's oldest and most celebrated olive oil producers, based in Nice in the Alpes-Maritimes. They've been operating from their historic mill since the 19th century and are renowned for producing oils of exceptional finesse and quality from the Niçoise olive variety and other European cultivars. Their distinctive blue and yellow tins are iconic in French fine food.
What makes the Cuvée Prestige special?
Two things: the blend and the harvest timing. The Cuvée Prestige is a carefully judged blend of exceptional olive varieties harvested at full ripeness (mures — fully ripe), which produces a sweeter, more mellow, fruity character compared to earlier-harvest oils. The resulting acidity is below 0.3° — considerably lower than the 0.8° maximum for extra virgin classification — indicating exceptional freshness and quality at harvest.
How does it differ from Greek or Italian olive oils?
French olive oils — particularly those from Nice and Provence — tend to be gentler, sweeter and more delicate than Greek Koroneiki oils or robust Italian varieties. The Cuvée Prestige is a beautifully balanced, sweet and fruity oil with incomparable finesse — less pepper, more fruit. It's ideal for raw applications and finishing dishes where you want the oil's character to be present but not dominant.
How should I use it?
Drizzled over raw vegetables, salads, carpaccio or ceviche. Spooned over good bread with sea salt. Used to finish soups and pasta dishes just before serving. Drizzled over charcuterie and cheese boards. The Cuvée Prestige's sweet, fruity character makes it ideal for any application where olive oil is the star — not a background note.
