Henry, Marcel, Joseph, Patrick, Louis and Emma... It's now the fifth generation at the helm of Huilerie Richard. The Richard family has been processing olives since 1885. Originally, Henry Richard pressed his olives in Mollans-sur-Ouvèze before delivering the oil to his customers by mule-drawn cart. The first mill in Nyons was inaugurated in 1922. Then came the move to Aouste-sur-Sye in 1958, and finally the inauguration of the new Montoison mill, dedicated to walnuts and rapeseed, in 2006, with its direct sales boutique. A boutique on the outskirts of a production mill is a popular option. As for the know-how and rigorous extraction methods used to produce the oils, these have remained unchanged for 140 years. Today, the Richard company has 19 truck stores, 10 stores and 4 mills. The store next to the mill in Nyons has a loyal following, and the new little boutique in Aouste-sur-Sye, in its pretty stone house, has quickly found its clientele. Alongside olive oil, the ancestral star, and olive by-products, the company has expanded its range to include walnut, hazelnut, rapeseed, sesame and pumpkin seed oils, as well as an ever-growing organic range, all available in its stores and online. Added to this are cosmetics and gourmet products. Richard's boutiques offer comforting stopovers. For something a little more unusual, take a seat at the oil bar and dare a tasting!
