Despite their looming divorce, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are embarking on a new joint business venture. The two actors are now selling their own extra-virgin olive oil, called Miraval Olive Oil. The gourmet product is produced in partnership with Famille Perrin (a.k.a. the Perrin family) on 26 acres of land at Château Miraval, the couple's $60 million, 1,100-acre French villa. People reports that the olive oil has been available in France for several weeks on the Perrin family's website in three-pack units for $30 per bottle, as well as in two small Perrin family-run boutiques in Aix-en-Provence and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A spokesman tells People that the first release of the product only included 10,000 bottles.Famille Perrin's website describes Miraval Olive Oil as "sweet oil with notes of almond, hazelnut, and artichoke barigoule. The palate is peppery and presents aromas of freshly cut grass. The finish is suave, spicy, and the bitterness at the end of the palate gives it a very beautiful balance." The high-quality, cold-pressed oil is packaged in a black bottle crafted from dyed-black sandstone, which helps protect it from damaging UV rays.This is not Jolie and Pitt's first time using their expansive French château for business. Back in 2013 they started bottling and selling a rosé, simply called Miraval, with winegrower Marc Perrin of Famille Perrin.

Meanwhile, Brad is reportedly 'much happier' because he has been 'spending more time' with his children in recent weeks.The Fury star is feeling more upbeat since he has started seeing his kids - Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - more often.A source said: 'He seems to have a more positive outlook. Things seem much better now ... He can spend more time with them ...'He seems much happier. He has missed his kids terribly. The kids are his whole world. It's all he cares about.'And the Hollywood star is happy to work with his estranged wife in the hope it will make the split easier on their children.The insider said: 'Brad is willing to work with Angie so they can have peace for the kids. What it ultimately comes down to is that he just wants to be with the kids.'Earlier this month, the former couple released their first joint statement since the actress filed for divorce in September.They signed agreements to keep court documents sealed in their custody battle and divorce proceedings to protect the privacy of their six children. The estranged couple said in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com: 'The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues.''The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification,' the statement concluded.

Private judges are often used in high-profile divorce cases, keeping many details of a breakup out of the public eye while a final judgment is negotiated. The Maleficent star recently slammed Brad in court documents while agreeing to his request that documents relating to their custody battle be sealed from public view.The Moneyball actor filed documents last month that accused the actress of compromising the privacy of their brood.He claimed in court docs that Jolie 'appears to be determined to ignore even agreed upon standards relating to the children's best interest, and ... is attempting to clear the way to put in the public eye any allegations she can, without regard to the impact on the minor children.'The Oscar-winning actress slammed his statements as audacious in her own response paperwork.In the documents, she accused Brad of lashing out because he's 'terrified that the public will learn the truth' about his behavior behind closed doors.The Inglorious Basterds star was exonerated in November by officials with the FBI and Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, amid accusations he was physically abusive to Maddox during a Europe-bound flight in September.'There is little doubt that [Brad] would prefer to keep the entire case private, particularly given the detailed investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dept. of Children and Family Services into allegation of abuse,' the actress said in court docs.Jolie added that the Fight Club star is trying to 'deflect from [his] own role in the media storm which has engulfed the ... children.' Pitt and Jolie were married for two years and together for 12 years after becoming close while filming 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Both actors have kept a relatively low profile since their breakup was announced, although Pitt made an appearance onstage at Sunday's Golden Globes to spirited applause.Meanwhile, a source with Page Six claimed that Brad's most recent public appearance was swift, as the actor promptly went home after appearing onstage and skipped the festive afterparties.
