Who are these stars who produce olive oil in Provence ?
A large number of French actors, of singers or entrepreneurs who have succeeded in business have long turned to wine and have bought attractive properties in Bordeaux. Some have turned to Provence, to make wine but not only : l’olive oil is on the rise !
Many stars have bought a property in Provence. And who says property in Provence says olive trees. Naturally, the passion for the olive tree and its nectar pushed these owners towards the mills to produce their oil. Here is the list of 4 most famous celebrity estates.
Charles Aznavour
The greatest and most passionate about our beautiful region will forever remain Charles Aznavour. Passionate olive grower in Mouriès, in the Alpilles, he was until his death a militant of the ancestral know-how and traditions of Provence.
On his domain, 6 hectares of olive trees produce 2000 liters of PDO olive oil. A top-of-the-range oil highly appreciated abroad.
Patrick Bruel
Based in Isle sur la Sorgue since 2007, Patrick Bruel cultivates on the domaine Leos 2600 olive trees that produce oil H. This prestige oil sold in 250ml or 500ml bottles has convinced the public and the great starred chefs. A black bottle, recognizable by its design, and memorable in taste, this oil is a real success. She offers herself as one offers a good bottle of wine !
In keeping with tradition, this oil by Patrick Bruel is elaborated with Christine Cheylan of Château Virant. This collaboration took the oil to its highest level by winning the gold medal for the first time at the agricultural show in 2019.

Angelina Jolie et Bratt Pitt
The actor couple, separated in life, but united around their domain in the Var, produces a premium oil. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Domaine Miraval has an orchard with old olive trees. The oil is offered in a sublime black stoneware bottle with a wooden stopper.
This oil is very hard to find (except on ProvençalBox 🙂 ), production remains modest.
George Lucas
The Star Wars Producer, George Lucas, is the owner of Château Margüi in the Var. Here again, a very high-end organic olive oil in a very elegant bottle.
