The Gaubens family has been running this family estate for six generations now. The orchard, of Roman origin, includes thousand-year-old olive trees. The harvest is taken to the oil mill in Coudoux, where it is produced in the traditional way. To preserve its quality, the oil that rises to the surface of the settling tank is collected "à la feuille". This equipment produces four types of oil, all fruité noir, from aglandau and salonenque olives. Over-ripening and the miller's know-how give them their particular flavors. Winner of eight awards at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris, including five gold medals, this oil will win you over!

The olive oil season takes place between the end of October/beginning of November and the end of December. The producers bring their harvest in order to crush their olives. This mill perpetuates a specificity: the old-fashioned production. After maceration, the olives are crushed with a stone millstone, the oil is pressed with scourtins and the oil is harvested manually "by the leaf". The mill offers three different oils for sale, and a tasting session will help you appreciate their subtleties. The visit is possible all year long.
