I'm losing my mind, and I've been trying to figure this out for two days. I'm translating a catalog of top-notch quality olive oils, and for each one in the selection they have the word "cuve" (no, it does NOT mean "vat" or "tank") followed by what would look like a vintage name if it were a wine. The word is indeed "cuve" and not "cuvée. I'm desperate - anyone out there know about olive oils? I have tried searching websites for each oil producer, no luck. WHAT is this?

Thanks - this was actually one of the producers in the selection and one of the sites I visited...but they use the word as if they were naming a wine vintage. They put "cuve", a colon, and then the name of the "vintage", for example for this producer from this site they put "Montago", a word I found nowhere on their website, and then they put "Olives" and a colon, and name the two varieties used to make it.

Job delivery in one hour, I'll just have to tell them I cannot find the term...aargh.
