Located in Pont Saint-Esprit in the Gard, the Émile Noël oil mill is a family business that will soon celebrate its centenary. Today it is his great-grandson, David Garnier, who has taken over the company, bringing with him many innovations. The big news? Health and nutrition oils ideal for combining pleasure and well-being! “We are committed to developing oils that are good for your health while retaining interesting nutritional properties,” explains Marlène Bonnard, communications officer for the company, which has 80 employees. Among them, the organic and vegan DHA+ cocktail oil, source of omega 3 and rich in fatty acids.
“DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), contributes to the normal functioning of the brain and is mainly found in fish oil but also in certain algae. We have chosen to extract it from seaweed so that our oil is suitable for vegetarians. Its very slightly iodized taste is ideal to accompany fish ceviche, salad of raw vegetables or toast with mango avocado tartare.
Among the other "healthy" oils offered by the brand, we find omega 3-6-9 oil which is a mixture of rapeseed, hazelnut and oleic sunflower oil, blue poppy and walnut, very rich in fatty acids, but also omega 3 and 6 oil which combines hemp, sunflower and camelina oil, which was voted best organic product 2019. This oil with a herbaceous taste and fresh peas goes just as well with risottos of peas as with pink latte, a drink packed with vitamins! "All these oils are eaten raw, cooking them would lose their nutritional qualities", warns Marlène Bonnard.

Seed oils, fruit oils, gourmet oils...
