This fruit with a distinctive character will seduce you with its typical taste of the region, instantly transporting you to the heart of the climate of the Provencal Baronnies.
Discovering the Secrets of Nyons Olives
The Tanche olive reigns supreme in the hills of the Provencal Baronnies due to its unique character. It is in this Mediterranean terroir that this olive variety thrives.
The cultivation of Nyons olives is more than an agricultural tradition; it is an art passed down from generation to generation. Local farmers perpetuate ancestral cultivation techniques, from pruning the olive trees to harvesting the fruits, which are hand-picked starting in November.
The Nyons olive is a symbol of local identity and the ancestral work carried out in the Drôme!
