Gourmet products local specialties and wines Valensole

The olive oil produced here is a little jewel. From the 6 ha of organically grown olive trees, Guillaume produces: an explosive Haute-Provence PDO, 2 mono-varietal oils based on bouteillan and aglandau, and 2 lemon or bergamot flavoured oils. The olives are harvested by hand to ensure optimum ripeness and quickly pressed to retain maximum flavour. And in an eco-friendly spirit, Guillaume uses the remaining olive paste to spread on his land as fertilizer, and the stone waste to fuel the stove.

This delicatessen, created in 2017, is a member of the group of producers of the plateau of Valensole, a guarantee of excellence. It is the quintessence of Provence that awaits you in the friendly Maison de Marius, revamped with taste and passion. You will find a large choice of local and traditional food products. The House produces its own organic essential oil of lavender, immortelle and thyme, its olive oil and its lavender honey. Tea room in winter and gourmet plates at lunchtime in season. A beautiful and charming place where the beautiful rubs shoulders with the very good.

Quality is what makes this small family deli famous, opened in 1979! Nicolas Lambert, a former worker, has taken over from his boss since June 2015 and has continued the tradition of excellence (bronze medal for rolled brisket in 2016). The establishment offers a range of homemade charcuterie without preservatives, coloring or nitrite salts for impeccable quality. Let yourself be tempted by the jars of Provençal ready-made meals such as pied-packets.

During her agronomy studies, Geneviève Auric had no intention of taking over the family farm. And yet, 19 years later, she does not regret her choice. With her partner Laurent Bouvin, she farms organically some forty hectares of lavender and lavandin, cereals and 1,142 olive trees to be precise. With their trees, the couple produces a blend of oil, pressed at the Bonaventure mill, which they produce in fruity green and fruity ripe. These nectars are sold at an affordable price and are of very good quality.
