  • Olive Oil Production in the Var Region of France, May, 1995
    Olive Oil Production in the Var Region of France, May, 1995 In the south of France there are approximately 60 oil mills and cooperatives processing and retailing local olive oil today. They have a long history and tell the story of when olives were the dominant agricultural crop of the area. The Var region is at the center of what was once a thriving olive oil empire producing thousands of tons of olive oil each year. A devastating freeze in 1956 killed all of the olive trees down to the ground and most farmers replanted with the more profitable wine grapes for which France is so well known. Most of the mills in the region today still use the low technology stone mills and decantation processes their ancestors used. Unfortunately they have trouble finding enough olives nearby to sell much more than just to local residents, who bring their own olives for pressing. Mills that have modern equipment supplement their investment by bringing in olives from Spain and selling olive crafts, soaps, and canned table fruit in stores and restaurants adorned with antique processing equipment. Statistically, France is not a major producer of olive oil, processing an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 tons of olives in 1994. The Var region Chamber of Commerce economic development bulletin lists 11,136 farms in the region with an average size of just under 20 acres each. Vineyards represent 43% of the land and 47% of the earnings, cut flower production occurs on 1% of the land and represents 36% of the earnings.

Rue du 1er Juin, Tafala, Sousse Tunisie. 3Centre Régional des Recherches en Horticulture et Agriculture Biologique, Chott-mariem, Sousse, Tunisia _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Olives are one of the largest crops in the Mediterranean region, especially in Tunisia. This research assessed the performance of 19 cultivars of olives in rainfed conditions in the region of Chott Mariem during the 2010 to 2013 crop years. Average rainfall for those years was 422 mm in the area. In this study, varietal differences were considered in terms of yield, physical characteristics of the fruit and the oil content. The cultivars examined had their origins in Tunisia, Italy, Spain, France and Morocco. The effect of variety was highly significant (p < 0.05) for all traits. Based on our results, ‘Meski’, ‘Roumi’, ‘Besbessi’, ‘Picholine’ and ‘Lucques’ produced the highest cumulative yield over the four years of study. The largest fruits were given by ‘Tounsi’ and ‘Ascolana’, averaging respectively 7,98 and 6,09 g, whereas ‘Chemlali’ (0,74 g) and ‘Chetoui’ (1,91 g) had the smallest ones. The highest oil content was in ‘Picholine’ (19,62%), ‘Fougi’ (17,42%), ‘Chemlali’ (14,34%) and ‘Chemchali’ (14,05%).

  • Comparative Study of Methods for DNA Preparation from Olive Oil Samples to Identify Cultivar SSR Alleles in Commercial Oil Samples: Possible Forensic Applications
    Comparative Study of Methods for DNA Preparation from Olive Oil Samples to Identify Cultivar SSR Alleles in Commercial Oil Samples: Possible Forensic Applications CATHERINE BRETON,† DELPHINE CLAUX,† ISABELLE METTON,† GILBERT SKORSKI,† AND ANDREÄ BERVILLEÄ *,‡ Phylogene, Espace Innovation 2, 110, alle´e C. Babbage, 30035 Nıˆmes Cedex, France, and INRA, UMR-DGPC, baˆt 33, 2 place P Viala, 34060 Montpellier Cedex 1, France Virgin olive oil is made from diverse cultivars either mixed or single. Those ensure different tastes and typicity, and these may be also enhanced by the region of production of cultivars. The different olive oil labels correspond to their chemical composition and acidity. Labels also may correspond to a protected origin indication, and thus, such oils contain a given composition in cultivars. To verify the main cultivars used at the source of an olive oil sample, our method is based on DNA technology. DNA is present in all olive oil samples and even in refined oil, but the quantity may depend on the oil processing technology and oil conservation conditions. Thus, several supports were used to retain DNA checking different techniques (silica extraction, hydroxyapatite, magnetic beads, and spun column) to prepare DNA from variable amounts of oil. At this stage, it was usable for amplification through PCR technology and especially with the magnetic beads, and further purification processes were checked. Finally, the final method used magnetic beads. DNA is released from beads in a buffer. Once purified, we showed that it did not contain compounds inhibiting PCR amplification using SSR primers. Aliquot dilution fractions of this solution were successfully routinely used through PCR with different SSR primer sets.

Introduction In economic terms, France has just over 5.1 million olive trees spread over 55 000 ha (2011) and 13 départements, located solely in the South-east. They cover less than 0.18% of the usable agricultural area (UAA). The average density is 86 trees/ha althoughh this can vary from one region to another (from 50 in Corsica to 110 in Languedoc- Roussillon). Figure 1. Localization of France (Source: UN) Over 15 000 ha, i.e. more than one-quarter of France’s olive orchards are irrigated. However, here again there are variations, ranging from 9% in the Ardèche to 34% in Bouches-du-Rhône. The olive tree is emblematic of Provence where 75% of growers are not professional farmers. Olive growing and the products of the olive tree are at the centre of many cultural phenomena. Orders of Knights swear to defend the olive tree as a symbol of peace, countless events showcase the olive tree and its products, and numerous museums, tourist routes and other initiatives have grown up around the olive.

  • Guide Du Planteur D'oliviers
    Version 5 – janvier 2015 GUIDE DU PLANTEUR D'OLIVIERS En Languedoc-Roussillon Initialement rédigé en été 2004 par Jean-Michel DURIEZ ( Association Française Interprofessionnelle De L'Olive - AFIDOL). En collaboration avec les membres du réseau technique oléicole du Languedoc-Roussillon : Christine AGOGUE (Chambre d'Agriculture de l'Aude) Bernard ASSENAT (Chambre d'Agriculture du Gard) Eric HOSTALNOU (Chambre d'Agriculture des Pyrénées Orientales) Hélène TEISSÉDRE (Chambre d'Agriculture de l'Hérault) Avec le soutien de l'Office National Interprofessionnel des Oléagineux et des Productions Textiles et de la Région Languedoc-Roussillon. 1 Version 5 – janvier 2015 PREMIÈRE RÉFLEXION INDISPENSABLE Toute personne désireuse de planter des oliviers doit impérativement se poser ces premières questions préalables : Quelle destination vais-je donner aux olives que je vais produire ? Comment vais-je valoriser cette production d'olives ? De nombreuses plantations ont été réalisées entre 1998 et 2002, la plupart en accord avec les coopératives et les moulins privés. Elles ont bénéficié d'aides car la demande dépassait l'offre à la fin des années 1990. Elles entrent en production maintenant. La production oléicole régionale s'écoule sans trop de difficultés, mais il serait irresponsable d'installer de nouvelles plantations avant d'être certain de conquérir les nouveaux marchés indispensables. Il existe plusieurs possibilités pour écouler les produits oléicoles → Par des coopératives, → Par des moulins ou confiseries privés, → Par ses propres circuits de vente. Si vous ne comptez pas vendre vous-même vos produits oléicoles, contactez la coopérative ou les ateliers privés auprès de qui vous souhaiteriez écouler vos olives, préalablement à toute plantation. Vérifiez auprès d'eux la possibilité d'adhérer ou de devenir client.
