Our Story
Our journey began with a passionate belief that every drop of olive oil
should express the soul of the land and the heritage of the family who
tends it. Deep in the heart of southern Provence, among centuries-old
trees, we found our calling.
Passed down through generations, our two hectares of olive groves
have weathered the sun, wind, and time itself. Today, we carefully
restore this family heritage, cultivating each tree organically and
pressing the olives by hand to achieve truly exquisite extra virgin
olive oil.
At Domaine de Cugis, we value patience, respect for nature,
and a spirit of craftsmanship. When you taste our oil, you
taste our history—poured into every bottle.
why we are special
Location & Climate
Nestled in the limestone-rich hills of southern Provence, our two-hectare grove
benefits from over 300 days of sunshine each year. Mild rainfall and gentle
Mediterranean breezes allow olives to ripen slowly, capturing the true
essence of the region.
Olive Varieties
We cultivate Aglandau, Salonenque, and Picholine, each bringing
unique taste notes—from almond-like sweetness to a subtle peppery
finish—that merge into a distinctly Provençal character.
Organic Cultivation
By maintaining a pesticide-free approach, we preserve soil fertility
and let the olives fully absorb the terroir’s mineral profile. This
commitment ensures a pure, unaltered expression of southern
Provence in every harvest.
On-Site Cold-Pressing
Hand-picked olives are pressed within hours, locking in vibrant aromas
and flavors. This immediate cold-pressing preserves the fresh, robust
qualities that define truly artisanal olive oil.
Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil
Our careful cultivation and swift pressing methods result in
exceptionally high polyphenol levels. These natural antioxidants
not only enhance the oil’s peppery finish but also offer genuine
wellness benefits. Each drop delivers both robust flavor and a
vibrant reflection of our treasured terroir.
Secure Packaging & Delivery
We take extra care when packing each bottle, using protective,
eco-friendly materials that guard against breakage and extreme
temperatures. Whether shipping across the country or around the world,
our goal is to ensure every order arrives intact, fresh, and
ready for your table.
