Who are we?

we areFarmers and olive growers since 1892

The land has been part of our family’s DNA since the 19th century, and has been its identity, with vines, cereals and olive trees providing the daily rhythm for more than 5 generations.

After the winter of 1956, and the terrible cold wave that decimated almost all the olive trees, my great-grandfather decided, despite the general opinion, to replant some. Since that time, each member of the family has participated in the development of the property, and each successive generation has brought its own visions, improvements, and perpetuated the tradition.
Love, passion and knowledge are combined with Avenir.

01Our Philosophy

Dealing with nature, the elements, standards and people is often complicated…and yet every day we keep moving forward.

02Our Commitment

Soil maintenance, treatments, pruning, fertilization management…until the moment of harvest, we pay particular attention to the quality of the olives. As soon as they are harvested, they are brought to the mill for crushing. Once recovered, our oils will be analyzed in laboratory, then a control of their organoleptic typicity will be carried out by a tasting commission.

03HVE Labeling

Since 2018, SOLEILdesCAPITELLES affirms its commitment and respect for the environment by obtaining the High Environmental Value label, or HVE, the cultivation of our olive trees being governed by the principle of sustainable agriculture.

MeetThe Olive Team

Nothing is more beautiful than a family united around the same passion

An olive tree is extinguished,
another one succeeds him,
from its rejects,
as another himself,
an olive tree never dies without an heir. Albin Routtre
We believe that the key to success is teamwork, and we have assembled not a team, but a family with unmatched experience and passion
