Olive oil producers France

Cultivated in organic agriculture, the 13 ha of olive trees in the Tapi Mas domain result from acquired know-how over five generations. The PDO oil Vallée des Baux-de-Provence produced here is declined in two juices: green and black. From the end of September, you will also find at the boutique located in the centre of Mouriès, the famous green olives broken, hand picked and prepared in brine with fennel, and black olives sewn to salt, as the PDO wants. The domain organises visits from its olive grove of half a day with Provençal snacks to the key. 

The Bellon family marked the history of the village of Fontvieille. Not only thanks to the notoriety of their oil mill, but also because two of its members became first magistrate of the commune, Hyacinthe and Henri. Today, it is the two sons of the latter, Jean-Pierre and Jacques, who have been at the helm of this field in the family since 1913. They grow their 3 000 olive trees planted on about twenty hectares with care: weeding, fertilisers, reasoned irrigation, etc. With fruits, they manufacture a PDO oil Vallée de Baux-de-Provence. Their moulin mill also presses the olives of 400. The Bellon also prepare table olives (Lucca and picholine), quenelle, and green olive pulp to basil or tomato. 

The estate covers almost 150 hectares, 15 of which are devoted to arboriculture. The olives harvested have the Nyons PDO label, and are used in confectionery for the smaller fruits, and in the olive oil press. Its light green fruity taste is ideal for eating raw. You can also taste the Aumage's other products on site: apricot nectar, jam and spread, cherry nectar and lavender honey. Gîte and restaurant available on reservation.

With her 1,000 olive trees, from different varieties, Florence Cheyrezy harvests each year nearly 6 tons of olives transformed into four single variety oils, fruité vert or fruité mûr. In addition, there is an oil from an old orchard whose variety has not been determined. You can visit the facility and the olive grove of the Fontaine du Muletier estate. You can also bring your own olives to have your oil pressed (from 50 kg).

A family affair above all. Emma and Christophe's grandfather bought the land in 1900. Following a fire, he initially focused on growing medicinal plants, before opting in 2002 to grow 2,500 olive trees. The main varieties you'll find here: aglandau, then picholine and also bouteillan, an old tree of the cayane variety. In terms of production, olive oil changes every year depending on the harvest. They also make olive oil-based soaps and Provencal herbal teas. Today, Emma and Christophe run the estate with their children, at the foot of the Garlaban, in the heart of the Aubagne region, a true brand of terroir.

Lovers of olive oil will find what they are looking for here: a very pretty shop, superbly decorated, with an incredible choice of quality products, a really pleasant welcome and a particularly instructive visit of the place. On the shelves, you will find olive oils, of course, but also a whole range of derived products, such as culinary preparations, aperitif biscuits or even jams, which are original to say the least. And, of course, it is possible to taste before you decide, but in the end, you fill your basket.

The old Rossignol oil mill, which dates back to 1760, has kept its granite millstones over the years. Today, they stand next to a sophisticated modern machine which ensures the pressing. Only 80 kilos of fruit are needed to leave with the oil. Homemade olive paste and preserves are available on the mill's shelves. Interested individual visitors can ask for a guided tour. The production is on sale in the shop: olive oils, and all the products derived from the olive, including the olive preserve, a home-made recipe...

You enter this store like a museum, where the minimalist, modern decor plays with wood and metal. Meticulously-crafted shelves display all kinds of olive oils and by-products, inspiring gift ideas and the creation of custom-made baskets. The brand has a proven track record dating back to 1822, when the first olive oil was produced by this house. Since then, the company has come a long way, and the charm of the premises and the quality of the products make it a pleasure to browse in any store (Grasse or Nice).

This oil mill built in 1850 has been passed down from generation to generation. Today it is managed by Roselyne, the founder's granddaughter, assisted by her nephew Jean-Luc. As harvesting owners, they run a local olive grove and produce a great PDO oil that has been awarded several times. A small museum shows the flour mill of yesteryear and a video film retraces the stages of the oil mill. In the store, you can taste and buy olive products. Make an appointment to visit: Roselyne can't be at the mill!

In Paris since 1822, A L'Olivier has a pretty good shop near the Marais. The oil is declined here in its most varied forms, and always in neat presentations. In the kitchen, olive oils are upgraded: extra virgin, plain or flavoured, there's something for everyone. You can choose according to your taste, for example olive oil with dried tomato of Sicily (9 € for 25 cl, anyway). The oils are divided into range that will stand out easily with different colours of the iron cans. We love the flavoured olive oils that are wonderful on pasta, salad, fish or poultry. A L'Olivier also offers a nice selection of deli products, always made of olive, like tapenade, but also some specialties of the Provence region!

This confidential grocery store, to be discovered at the back of a listed courtyard, has taken over, among other dishes that will delight gourmets and gourmands, the range of products from the Jean Leblanc artisanal oil mill located in Iguerande in Burgundy.

These oils are the regional authenticity, transported to the heart of Paris. On the shelves, you can also choose between mustards and vinegars with a divine taste, enough to make princely seasonings for healthy and tasty dishes!

It's been a family affair for four generations. The owners pamper 12 ha certified in organic agriculture from which they obtain an AOC Provence oil. You will find it at the estate shop, in pretty bottles, fruity or flavoured (lemon, truffle, basil, Espelette pepper), alongside green and black tapenades. And as the benefits of olive oil are multiple. Take the time to discover the other products of this mill where cereals are grown.

The Haut brothers have been running the mill for 5 generations. The olive oil is crushed by stone millstones. The extraction is then done in a horizontal centrifuge. The fruité vert is extracted from the aglandau variety, more commonly called "verdale de Carpentras" in this part of the department. The Comtat mill markets the oil from its own orchards and from a few olive growers, and offers individuals the opportunity to crush by batch, and thus leave with their own oil.

From the rocky outcrops of the Moroccan Atlas (argan oil) to the terraced olive groves of the Pays d'Aix (Aix AOC olive oil), the gastronomic oils of this house are pure, healthy and tasty.

This is the basis, but the shop offers many other products: the noble truffle and vinaigrettes, antipasti, chutneys... A farandole of refined flavours and plenty of ideas to treat yourself.

For more than 120 years, the Leblanc family has been passing on the tools and know-how to continue to produce oils in an artisanal manner, from father to son. If the mill is located in Burgundy, Leblanc oils are also present in Paris in their shop (6, rue Jacob). Although the company's flagship product is sesame oil, many other oils are produced: olive (extra virgin and truffle-flavoured), pistachio, sunflower, pine nut, walnut and hazelnut, argan, grape seed or pumpkin oil...

The Château de Montfrin, built on this mound of earth and rock overlooking the village, produces organically grown oil (AB label since 2010). 120,000 olive trees are planted on this hill, which was once a refuge for animals fleeing the recurrent floods of the intrepid Gardon river. Grouped together in a union oléicole, the site's producers offer 3 oils. Moulin des Ombres (the estate's flagship oil), Château de Montfrin (a predominantly "arquebine" blend) and Petit Château (a predominantly "petit ribier" blend).

This orchard, created with her father in 1994, covers 10 hectares. Trained in wine tasting, Anne retranscribes her know-how with the oil she produces either as a single variety or through blending. There are three oils on the estate: the AOP Oliu di Corsica (sweet fruity and ghermana) and, more atypical, the wild fruity, from the sabine variety. All have a common characteristic: they are made from olives that are pressed very quickly after harvesting in order to retain all the primary aromas. One of the best oils in the region!

The Domaine de la Mer Blanche has 3 hectares of organic land with 800 olive trees, one hectare of pomegranate trees and one hectare of fig trees. The Mer Blanche olive oil comes from the olive tree, emblematic of the Catalan region. It is a blend of black and green olives that gives birth to this oil, which is highly appreciated for its balance, its aromatic richness (especially tomato flavour) and its beautiful roundness in the mouth.

For nearly 100 years, combining tradition and modernity, but always with the aim of selecting the best olives, the Catalan offers you a tasting of its products which are declined in 3 ranges: the flavoured, the medium and the intense. Also on sale are tapenades, olive jams and olives in jars. Its museum, its production workshop open to the public and its guided tours are really instructive for the whole family.

Tasting of olive oil, tapenade, honey... it happens in the store of the mas de Cayol, a pretty store where a pleasant smell of Provence emanates. You can find there countless gustatory treasures, but also wooden utensils and the famous beer of the gardians. Groups can also take part in a nice walk in the olive trees with a tasting of olive oil and olives on the way back. The welcome is friendly, even good-natured. A pleasant stopover that we can only recommend.

The Gruissan Oil Mill, located on the outskirts of the Massif de la Clape, owes its existence to the true passion of its owner, Frédéric Granier, an olive farmer since 1996; who created the Gruissan mill in 2009.

Thanks to their diversity of character, the olive groves planted near the mill allow the elaboration of subtle blends as well as varietal vintages. Lucques, Olivière, Bouteillan, Aglandeau and Picholine, that is to say about 1 800 trees whose green fruits are found in the productions elaborated by Frederic Granier. There are no less than 20 references of olive oils that the producer offers in his store.

The olive grower will be happy to show you around his workshop and his mill: you will then be able to discover what goes into the making of his local products. A warm welcome, for individuals as well as for groups.
