After having travelled to Chile, Venezuela and Bolivia for humanitarian missions, Didier Lamirand wanted to put his bags and base his olive-oil operation with her wife Carmen and her three children. At that time, the municipality of Calce sought an operator to take care of the municipal olive grove surrounding the village castle… In this way, since 2003, the Lamirand have maintained communal olive groves, 10 ha for 1 800 trees. Planted just after the frost of 1956, the orchard comes from a very common variety in France, sigoise. Imported from the region of Sig, in Algeria, this species was particularly well adapted to this schisto-limestone terrain, at 200 m altitude, regularly swept through tramontane. Didier and Carmen are thus the only ones in France to propose a monovariétale oil of sigoise, which they decline into fruity green, ripe fruity and fruity black. They also develop oil from the few picholines in the area, as well as table olives, olive paste and cosmetics. All products are marked AB and Nature and Progress.
