On his family property in Cotignac, where there is also a vineyard of about three hectares, Christian Berton produces an oil known as "old-fashioned black fruity", which he produces from 800 trees planted on 1.5 hectares, without irrigation. Bouteillan, aglandau and cayon are the varieties that will give the 1,000 liters obtained after crushing at the mill in La Londe-les-Maures. Awarded multiple times at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris, as evidenced by the gold medal for the vintage 2022 mature. The olive grower is a member of the Provence Appellation.

When you arrive in the center of Cotignac at the end of the day, it is impossible to ignore a small garden terrace nestled against the rock, where the atmosphere is festive. At the "tailleur de bière", you can taste the productions of the microbrewery of La Tuf, managed by Renaud, who came from the flat country to treat us. You are here in contact with the production and taste the beers "at the source": IPA, raspberry sour, triple saffron or a fig beer, no question of being bored here while ordering your beer. The place to go out in Cotignac!
