Olive oil producers Saint-Rémy-De-Provence

Did you know "The Horses Whisperer"? Here is "the man who whispers to his olive trees", Franck Crouzet. A man who also tried the actor's job during his spare time. The man, from n Paluds-de-Noves, is starred in the feature-length "Avis de mistral", produced in 2014 by his cousin, the screenwriter Roselyne Bosch. In this dramatic comedy set between Alpilles and Camargue, Franck Crouzet is acting opposite Jean Reno, the headliner, in the role of a Provence inhabitant who talks with its olive trees. Obviously, he ressembles... If Franck Crouzet likes to deal with his trees, it is to encourage them. A little as a sporting team's trainer. "Each time I gain a competition, I will tell them " we've got the medals! " "It should be said that this former nurseryman, who converted himself in the olive business fifteen years ago, accumulates the rewards. Until the most prestigious, the Excellence Award in the general agricultural contest in 2014 and 2015. The AOC Provence oil he produces from the fruit of its 4,000 trees, that he planted one by one, is a "must".

The domain of Mourre de Viret is located in the heart of the Alpilles. The olive grove has been planted according to the standards of the AOP Vallée-des-Baux-de-Provence appellation and is conducted according to the rules of organic farming. The olives are pressed in a traditional mill: the crushing is done by sandstone millstones, then the pressure in woven baskets or scourtins. The oil is made from four varieties of olives: salonenque, grossane, aglandau and picholine.
