The best local producers Aigues Mortes

On 12 hectares, Lydie and Jean-Charles Laroche cultivate olive art and produce their oil thanks to a mixture of centuries-old olive trees inherited from previous generations and young shoots planted twenty years ago. Since 2008, the couple has acquired a press and is carrying out the press itself, reducing the time between harvest and pressing to a maximum. By marrying picholine, lucca and arbequine, their oil, ranging from green to ripe fruity, develops notes of almonds, flower of genêt and d, while having a low ardence.

In the salt marshes of Aigues-Mortes, ten salt workers perpetuate a tradition handed down from generation to generation, managing the movement of the water according to the weather. It is in summer, when the wind stops blowing, that millions of salt crystals form on the surface of the water. The salt workers then come to harvest the Fleur de Sel de Camargue manually. You can visit the salt pans on foot, by bicycle or by train and even participate in the harvesting of the Fleur de Sel. To take some home with you, find the salts produced on site in the dedicated store.
