Founded in 1896 in Menton, at the foot of the Saint-Michel Basilica, the Saint-Michel Oil Mill is a family business that has perpetuated for four generations a know-how and a requirement allowing it to offer today the best of olive oil.
In 2005, our director Karim Djekhar took over the reins of the oil mill after having been employed there since 1989.
Since then, Huilerie Saint-Michel has begun working in collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs to create flavored olive oils through maceration.
Shortly after his arrival in Menton, chef Mauro Colagreco was the first to collaborate with us and place his trust in our work. From this collaboration was born our first flavored olive oil, Menton lemon olive oil.
The secret of our scented oils
A word from the boss
"Born in the heart of the olive groves, as a child, sitting in the fields, I watched my grandparents and aunts make olive oil. I learned from them, and they passed on to me their love for our nourishing land. Now it's my turn to share this passion with you and these unique creations and flavors through our oil mill and this website."
