Old oil mill offering a visit to discover an ancient equipment used for the transport and storage of olive oil.

The village's old oil mill is a small institution, bearing witness to a rich olive-growing past. It operated from 1925 to 1978 as a traditional mill. Here, you'll discover the millstone, presses, scourtins and hydraulic pump, as well as the continuous chain, which is partly made in trompe-l'œil. You'll also discover old equipment used to transport and store olive oil, or to maintain the olive groves. The adjoining store sells regional products, including jams, soaps, nougats and olive oils.

Equipe au top ????, excellente dégustation avec explications, visite de l'ancien moulin a l'ancienne, et boutique en perpétuel renouveau avec des idées cadeaux superbes, et une épicerie fine d'excellente qualité. Des cadeaux à faire et à déguster. ????????????????????????

This is the go-to place to buy a bagful of souvenirs that doesn't include wine. La Balméenne is a lovely and tidy boutique where it's easy to spend time and money. It is primarily dedicated to the olive and its derived products. From olive oil to tapenade, soap and cosmetics. The eager shopper can also find a wide collection of yummy jams (grape and fig, apricot with almonds) and a locally brewed beer.
To be on par with wine shops, La Balméenne also offers olive-oil tasting of their own production. The staff is discreet, yet attentive and pleasant.

L'endroit est plutôt agréable. Les produits proposés sont intéressants et variés.
Hélas, je pense que nous ne sommes pas arrivés au bon moment. Peu de temps à nous consacrer. Dommage
