HISTORY

In Terre de Provence, the scents and flavors are mouth-watering. The olive tree is the Master in his dwelling and rules the landscape. Located where the regions of Languedoc and Provence meet, on the right bank of the Rhône, in the heart of the golden triangle of Nîmes, Arles and Avignon are the regions where the olive trees and the vines reign majestically over the countryside.

The Picholine variety is emblematic of the olive growing in the Gard region. The Arbequine was said to be imported from Palestine by the templars and later to Catalonia.

Symbol Of Peace and Wisdom the olive tree appease. It is the first tree to emerge when the sea retreated from the surface of the earth. In the chapter of the great flood, Wisdom came at the end of the "great anger". When, Noah, floating on the Ark ensure that the flood actually stopped and the waters fall, he releases a dove. The dove flew back holding an olive branch in its beak which has since become an Universal Symbol of Peace and Wisdom.
