Olive oil producers Draguignan

It is the oldest mill in France still in activity. Dating from the 13th century, it is now run by Max Doleatto, representing the^5th generation of the family. Seven different oils are produced from ripe olives, stored for 4 to 6 days. The "tradition" is a classic blend in which the red cayet variety dominates. The "authentic", on the other hand, is a singular oil, collected directly from the millstone. Come and taste it!

Of the 10 mills that existed in the 17th century in Draguignan, this mill is the only one to have survived the centuries. Fabrice Godet, the owner since 1982, crushes the olives of his 700 contributors (he doesn't have olive trees) in the old way: the crushing is done thanks to granite millstones, the paste is pressed with the help of scourtins. Then the liquid obtained is placed in settling tanks and the oil is collected in sheets. The shop of the mill offers oils and handcrafted soaps.
