“When you are born in Provence, you cannot live without the scents of the garrigue, the breath of the Mistral, the caress of the Sun, and the magic of the olive tree, this millennial tree, with its undulating grace, which shapes the landscape”
Catherine and Jean-Benoît Hugues, olive growers in Les Baux de ProvenceOur Story

From Olive Harvest
To Olive Oil Bottling
Harvesting olives in the orchards
The olives are harvested with a comb and net. They are transported to the mill in paloxes containing around 300 kg of olives.
Leaf removal and traceability
On arrival at the mill, the olives are unloaded into the olive stripper. This machine operates like a powerful blower, with belts to remove leaves and branches.
Olive washing
The palox unloader unloads the olives, which are conveyed to the washer by a conveyor belt. The olives pass through this water bath to eliminate the dust accumulated during the summer. Once clean, they are conveyed by an endless screw to the crusher.
