Moulin à huile d'olive & Domaine Bastide du Laval — Attraction in Apt

If you’re in the Luberon region, Bastide du Laval is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates culinary excellence. Their flagship oil, Ardence, is pure perfection – rich, aromatic, and crafted with the highest standards of quality. It’s even the oil of choice for the chefs at Matignon, in the French presidential kitchen, which says everything about its prestige. The domain also has a small museum where we had the chance to take a guided tour explaining the entire process behind this exceptional oil. As part of the tour, we also enjoyed a tasting experience with around ten different oils, both flavored and natural, which really highlighted the diversity and quality of their production. Obviously, you can also leave with your favorite oils from the dedicated shop along the “Moulin”, making the visit even more special. You can truly feel the passion and expertise at every step, from the olive trees to the bottle. Perfect for elevating any dish, from simple salads to gourmet creations. A five-star experience...

It is followed by a tasting of all the different kind of oils they produce, you can buy stuff from their shop and later go see thier Olive fields as well. Very satisfying experience, definitely...

(Also dog friendly). A true...
