Olive oil producers Forcalquier

André-Michel Breger invites you to take a trip back in time. Back in the days when olives were crushed by millstones driven by donkeys or mules, when the olive paste obtained was then placed in scourtins, a sort of large flat beret, and then compressed in order to harvest the precious nectar... Thanks to this enthusiast who has restored this mill, which probably dates from the 15th century (the last one left in France), you can not only make a very instructive visit but also taste a quality AOP Haute-Provence oil.

About ten years ago, Véronique and Thierry Baudrain decided to change their life and to settle in a house of the XVIIIth century in the middle of a farm of 20 ha, in the place called " Les Truques ". They cultivate this land in organic agriculture according to the Mediterranean trilogy: wheat, vines and olive trees. In addition to their olive grove (Aglandau AOC), they harvest Apt milling wheat, rye, chickpeas and small spelt, not forgetting the vine (merlot and cabernet sauvignon). They also have beehives and a truffle oak plantation.
