You will find fig trees and fruit trees growing among our other crops—they provide shelter for beneficial wildlife, the "natural allies" that feed on pests threatening our plants. In partnership with the Verdon Regional Park, we also take part in a hedgerow planting program that offers refuge to birds and game, protects the soil from erosion, and helps preserve heirloom almond varieties with remarkable flavors—true treasures of genetic heritage.
We practice no-till farming, respecting the biodiversity of soil flora and fauna, and we limit our interventions to the bare minimum. It means walking through the trees and plants, observing, crumbling and smelling the soil, identifying bioindicator plants and the more or less visible insects. In short, taking the time to listen, to observe, and to continue learning with humility.
This commitment does not stem from the Common Agricultural Policy or a passing trend—it reflects our deep-rooted desire to preserve the balance of our ecosystems.
The roof of our building is equipped with a photovoltaic system that allows us to feed the grid with ten times more electricity than we consume.
Rainwater collected from the rooftops is stored in a large tank, used to cool the distillery’s coils and to irrigate the orchards during the first year after planting.
A biomass boiler produces hot water and heats our facilities using olive pits, which are separated from the paste after the crushing process. Olive pulp is composted together with lavender straw and distillation residues, then used as natural fertilizer for our crops.
Nothing is wasted: in a virtuous cycle of recycling, we strive to transform what would otherwise be waste into valuable resources.
Our shipping boxes are made from recyclable and biodegradable materials, always with the goal of reducing plastic use as much as possible.
Finally, we remain open, we keep learning, and we share—humbly, but with a few solid lessons in hand.
