The "Oils and Gourmet Treats" workshop
The experience starts with chef Loïc Piètre demonstrating how to make a recipe based around products by the Huilerie Beaujolaise, a moment of delicious discovery before the guided visit of the mill’s workshop, followed by a product tasting session …
Since 1982, with the help of his team, artisan oil maker Jean-Marc Montegottero has kept alive the practice of making virgin oils from 100% fruit.
Over the years, Jean Marc Montegottero has gained the trust of the greatest chefs in France and abroad, making them ambassadors for his exceptional products.
As part of our partnership with La Vallée de la Gastronomie, we’re offering you the chance to spend a half-day discovering our craft.
To awaken your taste buds, your journey will start in Belleville-en-Beaujolais where Loïc Piètre will present a cooking workshop based around one or several of our products (oils, vinegars or fruit powders).
This is not a hands-on cooking class, but you will still have a chance to pitch in occasionally. And of course sample the food that has been prepared before your eyes.
At the end of this “appetizer”, you will be given a recipe card so that you can re-enact your gastronomic experience at home.
A short 20-minute trip will then take you to the gates of our mill in Beaujeu, where you will get a glimpse of our beautiful region, the Beaujolais. During a guided visit of the 19th century workshop, you will learn a few of our manufacturing secrets.
After the visit, you can sample our oils and vinegars and browse our boutique.
