Category: Attractions. Olives 🫒 and their oil have been an important part of foodways from Southern France to North Africa for thousands of years. But the last 20 or so years have witnessed the exaltation of the oil. Bastide du Laval is one of the growing number of olive farms to dive deeply into what olive oil is and what it can be, and to elevate it almost to an art form. Our visit started with a interesting tutorial on how olives are grown, harvested, and pressed into oil, which was followed by a tour of the presses and centrifuges, and ended with a grand tasting of many different oils ranging from light, to heavy, to aggressive, to Channel No. 5-ish, to flavored, all of which were available for purchase, along with branded swag. We were tempted to buy one of the large, shiny olive oil containers, to dispense the gallons of olive oil that we use each year. If you love and consume olive oil as we do, or you’re simply looking for an interesting side trip, check out Bastide du Laval. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice
If you’re in the Luberon region, Bastide du Laval is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates culinary excellence. Their flagship oil, Ardence, is pure perfection – rich, aromatic, and crafted with the highest standards of quality. It’s even the oil of choice for the chefs at Matignon, in the French presidential kitchen, which says everything about its prestige. The domain also has a small museum where we had the chance to take a guided tour explaining the entire process behind this exceptional oil. As part of the tour, we also enjoyed a tasting experience with around ten different oils, both flavored and natural, which really highlighted the diversity and quality of their production. Obviously, you can also leave with your favorite oils from the dedicated shop along the “Moulin”, making the visit even more special. You can truly feel the passion and expertise at every step, from the olive trees to the bottle. Perfect for elevating any dish, from simple salads to gourmet creations. A five-star experience in every way!
Amazing visit of the olive grove and the oil mill which was educative and fun. The visit was free, but I advise you to call before to know the timings. The tasting of the different olive oils were also great, and finally a boutique to buy the olives, etc. A wonderful experience of 2-3 hours. Definitely recommend it if you are in the area.
