Created in 2000 by Anne and Gilles Brun in Saint-Rémy de Provence, the Moulin du Calanquet revived the olive growing activity in its commune which had been extinguished for more than 40 years.
Five generations in the agricultural sector, attachment to the land, respect for family values and traditions and incredible dynamism are the very foundations of the company.
The Moulin du Calanquet has an olive grove of more than 20.000 plants, which were planted in 1997. It is made up of traditional regional varieties: Aglandau, Salonenque, Grossane, Verdale and Picholine. Its specificity is to produce single-varietal olive oils in addition to a blend. This orientation allows you to discover the multiple flavors and aromas of each variety to be able to combine them with different dishes.
Its name calanquet comes from the Provençal word 'calan' which is a rock where it is good to shelter from the Mistral.
Strongly anchored in Provençal traditions, the Moulin du Calanquet is also a model of modernity.
It uses all the latest techniques for its production, complying with European food safety and hygiene standards.
Since its launch, its notoriety has increased in national and international gastronomy...
