Come and discover the Green Diamond! Guided tour, tasting, and a store selling the best of the region...
Since 1942, the Moulin de l'Oulibo has been producing quality oils and olives. L'Oulibo and its 850 growers cultivate local varieties, particularly the AOP Lucques du Languedoc olive, whose luminous green colour and crunchy flesh make it the region's green diamond! It's from this beautiful Aude variety that Oulibo produces its traditional oil, tapenades and other local delicacies. Every year, Oulibo wins numerous medals at the Salon de l'Agriculture, and is a member of the prestigious club of 1,400 companies demonstrating excellence in French know-how.

Owner's Message
The Oulibo cooperative has been producing and marketing olives and olive oil in Languedoc since 1942. It is France's leading producer of table olives, notably Lucques du Languedoc. L'Oulibo is also "the most visited company in Languedoc and 8th in France".
L'Odyssée de l'olivier is the only interpretation center in Languedoc Roussillon that tells the story of the olive tree and its culture through the ages: staging, sound and light, educational trails, multimedia screens and sound effects invite you to discover the king tree of the Mediterranean.. Children can enjoy a treasure hunt in the olive grove. End your visit with an introduction to tasting the cooperative's oils and olives.
Members' reviews on L'OULIBO
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Vaste parking.
Possibilité de déguster les olives et les huiles d'olive.
Je recommande les picholines et les lucques qui sont excellentes.
Des promotions applicables sur les achats en lots.
La gamme s'étant élargie, il vaut mieux vérifier que les olives sont bien françaises, notamment celles servant pour la tapenade (je préfère la version maison).
Possibilité de visiter la coopérative.
Un espace musée qui raconte l'olive et son utilisation à travers l'histoire, le travail des oléiculteurs et des mouliniers, le parcours d'interprétation dans une oliveraie aménagée et la dégustation: tout est fait pour séduire et on en ressort conquis.

On vous propose notamment une visite guidée très intéressante, les secrets de préparation et une dégustation des différentes huiles , mono variétales ou assemblages, filtrées ou non.
Il faut un nez expert pour percevoir les odeurs de banane, mangue, artichaut ou amande mais il est plus facile de déceler le goût du basilic ou de la noisette.
La boutique est sympathique, offrant de nombreux produits locaux en plus de ceux fabriqués à base d'olives.
Le personnel est sympathique et donne de bons conseils. On apprécie notamment leur sincérité sur l'origine de l'ingrédient de base, qui pour certaines composition, provient de l'UE.
