Moulin du Saint Jean
Fontvieille - Olives - Huiles d'olives
Driven by tradition and an ancestral knowledge of olives, Jean Paul Sourdon, the great-grandson and grandson of oil-pressers, opened his own mill in June 1998. Tradition and modernity come together, and the yellow gold olive oil is covered by the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence AOC. The selection of four varieties of olive, such as Salonenque, Blanquette, Verdale and Grossane guarantees authenticity, tradition and expertise.
