Canneries Languedoc Roussillon

Saleurs in Collioure since 1870, the family business still works in the respect of the artisanal tradition. These specialities are famous and are available salted, with vinegar, plain, or in anchoïade and tapenades. In the workshops on the first floor, you will be able to talk with the anchoyeuses who strive to perpetuate ancestral gestures. The visit of the workshops and the tastings are free and really worth the detour. Let it be said, in this establishment, from anchovies in salt to olive stuffed with anchovies, everything is delicious!

Since 1903, the Desclaux company has been passing on its craftsmanship from father to son. The anchovies are salted by hand, then cleaned and placed in a crown in barrels of brine to obtain an incomparable aroma and taste. In the shop, you can find canned anchovies and especially semi-fresh anchovies with various seasonings. The production workshops are not open to the public, but in the old adjoining workshop, a worker will repeat the same gestures in front of you! Maison Desclaux has just opened a superb delicatessen in the centre of Collioure.

La Belle Chaurienne is aptly named. Established since 1964 in Castelnaudary, it is the main spearhead of the local gastronomic know-how. In addition to its famous cassoulet, the company has developed various recipes that showcase local cuisine. The ingredients for its preserves (duck confits, foie gras, pâtés, rillettes...) are 100% natural and carefully selected. Products that can be found in many food shops as far away as Hong Kong, as well as on the online shop.

The preservation of fish with salt has been practiced in Roussillon since the Middle Ages. In 1870, Alphonse Roque established himself in Collioure as a cooper and salt maker and founded Maison Roque. The family business works in the ancestral tradition of salting anchovies, from salting to maturation to packaging, in compliance with European standards. In the store, you will find the traditional anchovies in salt, fillets in oil, anchovies in vinegar and "roquerones" (marinated anchovies), but also anchovy cream and anchovy paste.

As the namesake of her department, it's only natural that Aude Mercier should present over 250 products, many of them organic and from the surrounding area, in her delicatessen. Among the savouries, discover preserves from Ferme des Garrigues, rillettes from Domaine de Peyremale and vinegars from Cyril Codina. Sweet treats include pomegranate juice and jelly from Rouge d'Oc, as well as cookies, almonds and other treats. Wines such as "La tempête sous la couette", beers from "La mer à boire", Carthagène and other liqueurs are also there for you.
