Menton Daily Photo: Huilerie

23 April 2007

This is the old olive oil shop which is just before the archway that leads into the Old Town.

That's one of the things I loved in France - everything ends in "-ie" - charcuterie, boulangerie, patisserie... but I must admit this is the first time I've seen a "huilerie". An oilery? Most unusual. :) Great shot.

Are we treated to some dégustation before buying?

This photo is just missing a mongrel snoozing on the steps, don't you think?

I love it. Pale colours and those scents it seem possible to smell even here.

Hmm! Nothing tastes better than a fruity, green olive oil with bread.

I have to go back to Cote D'azur again.

How are the prices? My family has a lot of trees and we are making our olive oil ourself. Therefore lot of Mediteranian cooking in my home:)...Do they sell olives also?

I love pictures like this -- old shops -- whether they're still open or not! I hope you're having fun with your blogs! I have three and haven't often met anyone with five!
