MOULIN DE LA VEYSSIERE

Moulin de la Veyssière kept its authenticity through the years. The mill is almost a thousand years old: its origins date back to the 13th century! This is the last water powered mill of the Vern Valley whereas there use to be 31 water mills in this region in the 18th century. Le Moulin de la Veyssière is definitely storied in history.

Artisanal manufacture since 1857. We make walnut and hazelnut oil in the great tradition and with an ancestral know-how. The grinder, the cast iron pan, the oil press and all the tools used to make the oil are period. The mill is powered by water. We make walnut and hazelnut oil in the great Périgord tradition: raw materials are crushed by a flint wheel, the paste is then slowly cooked and gives all its character to the oil, and then it is pressed and bottled after 3 to 4 weeks.

High-quality fruits from local producers. Even more than the know-how, sectioning high-quality fruits is crucial to make good oil. We have created community relations with local producers for many years now.
