Emblematic of the region, olive growing is a must: 142 of the 153 communes in the Var produce olive oil!<\/b><\/p>\n

In terraces or on the plains, they delight all your senses: there are as many flavors and aromas as there are varieties of olives, and in addition to their oil, producers offer other olive-related products such as tapenade.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the diversity of its aromatic plants and the quality of its pollen, the Var is one of France’s leading beekeeping departments.<\/b> With its varying depths of color, floral, vegetal and gourmet aromas, Provence honey is sure to please.<\/p>\n

The Chestnut <\/strong><\/p>\n

Roasted chestnuts, marrons glac\u00e9s, jams and creams are all in the spotlight in the Var, particularly in the Massif des Maures where they are widely grown 2000 hectares crossing the communes of Collobri\u00e8res (the chestnut capital) and La Garde-Freinet. In Collobri\u00e8res and other surrounding villages, chestnuts are celebrated in October.<\/p>\n

The fig <\/strong><\/p>\n

As for figs, those grown here benefit from rich soils and an ideal climate, giving them a particularly tangy, sweet taste. Aromas reminiscent of red fruit and melon. Solli\u00e8s-Pont, the fig capital of the Var region, is home to the appellation d’origine contr\u00f4l\u00e9e “violette de Solli\u00e8s”. Every year, the fig festival is held on the last weekend of August. On the program: farmers’ markets, large-scale meals, tastings of dishes concocted by chefs, guided tours, masses…<\/p>\n
