For 10 years, his travels have been guided by olive trees. He observed and took part in the production of numerous olive oils, sharing the daily life of a dozen of mills. These journeys allowed him to develop his expertise and his own clear vision of olive oil.
Alexis brings a fresh and uncompromising look on quality, producing monovarietal olive oils. His ambition is to guarantee the perfect balance between olive variety and fruit maturity.
With his bold approach, he introduces the notion of vintage, offering to his olive oils a strong typicity varying from year to another, according to harvests and weather conditions.

Our goals:
- Revitalizing the French olive sector, by creating more than 500 hectares of olive groves, ie nearly 400,000 trees planted, in Occitanie - France
- Bringing new life to the too many agricultural wastelands surrounding us, turning them into areas exploited in agro-ecology.
- Giving back more to the land than is taken from it, thinking of our future generations.
