The village of Mouriès in Provence (13 Bouches-du-Rhone, Provence PACA), southeast of Avignon celebrates its local green table olives with a Green Olive Festival Fete des Olives Vertes from 14 – 15 September 2024.
Mouriès claims to be the premier oil-producing commune in France with a reported 80,000 olive vines producing Huile A.O.C. Vallée des Baux-de-Provence.
One of the key producers is Christian Rossi at the Moulin St Michel:-
Made from a variety of four olives: the Salonenque, the Berruguette, the Verdale and the Grossane. It is mellow and exquisite with delicate tones of small green fruit, Moulin Saint-Michel A.O.C. olive oil from the Valley of Baux-de-Provence is fragrant and exceptionally fine, bringing out all the best qualities of the dishes with which it is used.
There is also the Moulin du Mas de Vaudoret and the Moulin Co-operative de Mouries,
