Built in 1939, the distillery of essential oils has been managed since 1994 by Philip SOGUEL.

Grounded on the heritage of a traditional knowledge, the distillery has plans for the future and want to be part of a dynamic local agricultural economy.
Just like the Olive-Tree ot the Vine, aromatic and scent plants are typical of this land and keeping them alive means preserving the soul of Provence.

Renovated in 2000, three stainless-steell « vases » or steampot of 2200 liters, a straw and low-pressure boiler with brick-furnace, a high-pressure boiler are the main equipements of the distillery.
From May to September, the distillation of plants with steam enables to obtain typical essential oils.

Each year, he takes part to training sessions in order to keep the best tecnical level and he can transmit you the main ideas of this Savoir-Faire.
