Introduction
At Eyguebelle, we are committed to sharing with you the best products Provence has to offer. They are much more than just commodities: they embody the soul of a sun-drenched region, lulled by the song of cicadas and steeped in centuries-old traditions. From PDO olive oil to the enchanting scent of lavender, from golden honeys to handmade soaps, each creation tells a story. This richness comes from a unique Mediterranean heritage, where nature, expertise and art de vivre blend harmoniously.
Renowned for their quality and authenticity, these products occupy a special place in gastronomy, wellness and craftsmanship. Let's discover together why they appeal to enthusiasts around the world and how to incorporate them into our daily lives.
Provençal olive oils: the symbol of the region
Olive oil from Provence, often certified AOP, is the cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine. Cold-pressed in traditional mills, it captivates with its fruity aromas, herbaceous notes and velvety texture. Whether used to dress a salad, flavour grilled fish or simply dip a piece of crusty bread, it embodies gastronomic excellence.
Herbs of Provence
Rosemary, thyme, oregano... These sun-drenched aromatic plants are the secret to southern French cuisine. They flavour meats, vegetables and sauces with an intensity that instantly evokes the hills of Provence.
Honey, tapenades and artisanal jams
Honey from Provence, often sourced from hives located near lavender fields, offers floral and sweet flavours. Black or green olive tapenades and artisanal fig or apricot jams complete this gourmet picture.
Wines from Provence
Internationally renowned, Provençal rosés are the perfect accompaniment to summer cuisine, while fresh and fruity whites appeal to lovers of fish and seafood.
Lavender
The olfactory symbol of the region, lavender is used to create relaxing essential oils, scented sachets and skincare products.
Marseille soaps
A true institution, Marseille soap is made according to a traditional recipe based on vegetable oils. Natural, biodegradable and gentle on the skin, it appeals for its simplicity and effectiveness.
Natural creams and skincare products
Made from olive oil, sweet almond oil or honey, these organic cosmetics nourish and protect the skin while respecting the environment.
Pottery and ceramics
Provençal artisans create unique pieces: colourful plates, terracotta jars, gratin dishes... Creations that are both decorative and functional.
Provençal fabrics
Floral patterns, warm colours, high-quality cotton: these fabrics bring warmth and authenticity to the home.
Santons de Provence
These small, hand-painted clay figurines perpetuate the tradition of Provençal nativity scenes.
Provençal producers continue to use traditional methods: harvesting by hand, traditional pressing, natural drying, etc. This attention to detail guarantees unique products, far removed from industrial production.
Many farms are certified organic, using sustainable methods and local resources. Provence promotes responsible agriculture and natural production.
Taste lavender honey, smell handmade soap or admire handcrafted pottery: it's like travelling to the South of France without leaving your home.
