Gourmet products local specialties and wines Collioure

Saleurs in Collioure since 1870, the family business still works in the respect of the artisanal tradition. These specialities are famous and are available salted, with vinegar, plain, or in anchoïade and tapenades. In the workshops on the first floor, you will be able to talk with the anchoyeuses who strive to perpetuate ancestral gestures. The visit of the workshops and the tastings are free and really worth the detour. Let it be said, in this establishment, from anchovies in salt to olive stuffed with anchovies, everything is delicious!

Since 1903, the Desclaux company has been passing on its craftsmanship from father to son. The anchovies are salted by hand, then cleaned and placed in a crown in barrels of brine to obtain an incomparable aroma and taste. In the shop, you can find canned anchovies and especially semi-fresh anchovies with various seasonings. The production workshops are not open to the public, but in the old adjoining workshop, a worker will repeat the same gestures in front of you! Maison Desclaux has just opened a superb delicatessen in the centre of Collioure.

Founded in 1290, this former convent, which almost fell into oblivion after the French Revolution, has been the property of the winegrowers of Collioure since 1926. The cellar groups together 160 winegrowers producing the great PDO wines of Banyuls and Collioure. A visit to the cellar is not only educational but also a delight for the eyes when you discover the tuns room located in the nave of the old 13th century church. A convent dedicated to wines, this is unique! The visit ends with a nice tasting.

From early morning, the rue Berthelot is filled with the sweet scent of roasted almonds, hot chocolate and lemon... The Pons family, originally from Fenouillèdes, makes the inimitable croquants de Saint Paul de Fenouillet and the famous Rochers de Collioure in front of you. We also offer macaroons, bunyettes and rousquilles that will delight all gourmets. To be enjoyed at any time or to bring back in your luggage.

Tasting is a pleasure in this trendy wine-shop. Olivier, a young wine merchant and great connoisseur, will give you the advice you need. In his attractive light wood décor, you'll discover over 800 references, some of them exclusive to Collioure: Rectorie, Préceptorie, Gardiès, Clos des Fées, Gauby, Abbé Rous, Côtes d'Agly, Pithon de Calce, in short, the department's finest winemakers. All at estate prices. During the school vacations, tastings are organized every day. Everything is on their Facebook page.

Well rooted in the Collioure tradition, the Piétri-Géraud estate has the know-how of 5 generations of winegrowers, and today it is 2 women, Maguy and Laetitia, who hold the reins of the estate. 20 hectares, 16 of which are on schistous terraces, a harsh terroir with a strong identity. The wines are vinified and stored in the heart of the village. In dry or sweet wine, the vintages of the domain are to be discovered. Special mention to the old vintages of Banyuls. The specialized press is not mistaken and regularly rewards the nectars of the domain.

To be enjoyed without moderation: sardines, mackerel, tuna, fish soups... Originality has not been forgotten as we also find on the menu preparations for sandwiches, small pots to be reheated and some really surprising boxes. And it's delicious! The boxes are of all the colors (one would think in a jewellery store), the reception is always with a smile and in bonus one can taste the products. A little air of Brittany in the Mediterranean!

Collioure is a town in the Pyrénées-Orientales region of France. Among the town's attractions is Anchois Roque, an emblematic house specializing in salted anchovies. The store offers a variety of recipes and artisanal products. Visitors can purchase products in-store or pick them up on site. In addition to anchovies, Anchois Roque also offers other regional specialties, a delicatessen and a selection of wines. Customers can also enjoy a free tasting session. Anchois Roque has been a family-run business in Collioure since 1870.

The preservation of fish with salt has been practiced in Roussillon since the Middle Ages. In 1870, Alphonse Roque established himself in Collioure as a cooper and salt maker and founded Maison Roque. The family business works in the ancestral tradition of salting anchovies, from salting to maturation to packaging, in compliance with European standards. In the store, you will find the traditional anchovies in salt, fillets in oil, anchovies in vinegar and "roquerones" (marinated anchovies), but also anchovy cream and anchovy paste.
