ABOUT US : WHO ARE LES AROMATES DE PROVENCE ?

A history of producers passionate by their aromatic plants

Our cooperative brings together producers of aromatic plants and herbs from Provence (south-east of France). The cooperative has about forty members cultivating an average of 8 hectares. Dynamic and involved, our producers are committed to offering you the best quality and highly aromatic products.

With our thirty years’ experience in cultivating and processing aromatic plants, our cooperative called Les Aromates de Provence is one of the pioneers in the French industry. Our unique sorting system is located in Trets, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. This original production facility allows us to obtain products of incomparable quality. We highlight the Provençal origin of our plants and their guaranteed essential oil content. Moreover, our service quality means we can work and offer tailor-made products in smaller and more diverse packaging sizes.

Our know-how allows us to offer products in several types of packaging, adapted and flexible. All our references are for sale on our website in professional formats. We can also meet specific calibration requests by using our cutting tools.

A 100% certified Provence origin directly from producers

Our members, located in each department of the Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur region (except Alpes-Maritimes) as well as in Drôme Provençale, work using traditional methods to offer you aromatic plants that are guaranteed 100% grown and processed in Provence. This traceability enables us to track all batches from producers to consumers. You always know where the products come from ! Our specialties :

• PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) French thyme "thym de Provence" is typical from the south of France. Rich in taste and flavor, it is the ideal companion to southern cooking. Its familiar smell of the scrubland will take you on a journey to the land of Pagnol!

• Rosemary grows to the rhythm of the southern sun. Sweet and spicy, it can be used in your vegetable-based dishes.

• Savory, also called "pébre d'ail", is used secretly in several Provençal recipes. Did you know that we find them in every garden in Provence?

• Oregano, typically used in tomato sauces, is cultivated for its smell and fragrance, which is so interesting in cooking.

• Basil is an emblematic plant of the Mediterranean region. Why not prepare a good Provençal pistou soup?

• Marjoram, often confused with oregano, will bring new flavors to your salads, meats and tomato sauces!

The cooperative to pool the resources of committed producers

Our farms have remained modestly sized, based on family farming models. We chose to form a cooperative to exert more influence in the sector of aromatics, while sharing our facilities.

With these facilities and our expertise, we can offer attractive volumes and high-quality products from Provence. Our aim is to enhance natural Mediterranean heritage by cultivating traditional and emblematic plants from Provence. We now offer you the opportunity to work with a shorter supply chain, without intermediaries, directly from the production.

Rural regeneration by contributing to the beauty of Provençal landscapes

Aromatic plant producers are involved in developing their lands to preserve rural areas, particularly in dry mountains. Growing thyme, oregano, winter savory and rosemary contributes to the beauty of the landscapes found in the south-east of France. Committed to preserving this heritage, we maintain and pass on our techniques and know-how from generation to generation, while constantly improving our activity.
