Huilerie Richard: a family's story |
|
 A place we like a lot for all kinds of (good) reasons. First of all because the oil that they produce, whether it is olive, nut, hazelnut or rapeseed oil, is always produced with the same care and quality as a hundred years ago, when great great grandfather Henry Richard founded the oil factory in 1835 in Mollans sur Ouvèze. And because the Richards, represented nowadays by Patrick, stay close to their clients by delivering the products themselves and by having their mills open to visitors during the production in wintertime. And finally because one can only share in this passion for communication which permitted this business to start again in spite of a few difficulties in the mid 1990s. Not finding a buyer, Patrick, then an expert financier at Crédit Agricole, didn't hesitate to quit his job in order to consecrate himself entirely to the family business.
Today, by developing products with affirmed savours « which tell their name » as they say in Lyon, the business learned how to seduce the greatest chefs while staying close to the consumer. A real school for the taste where we can familiarise ourselves with all the complexity of savours, the local varieties and the different forms of usage. A flavoursome place!
