Pass on and share our know-how

«Augier et fils» – a company that stands out for its craftmanship and values rooted in the heart of Provence

The story of the company is a story of transmission:

Transmission of the passion of honey

Transmission of the love of the product

Transmission of know-how through the generations

We are happy to share with you our passion of honey.

Each tasting is unique and reveals the varied aromas and textures that characterize our honeys.

This quality is the result of a close collaboration with our beekeepers and is based on the expertise of Pierrick Augier, our Master Honey, in the preparation of honey.

We regularly organize honey tastings in our premises in Vaison-la-Romaine to make our visitors discover all the secrets of honey from Provence.

Our Job

We take care of the honeys where many professional and amateur beekeepers stop. After having selected the honey in the honey farms, after harvesting, we keep them in our temperature-controlled warehouses to bring them to maturity before packaging.

Our know-how is expressed in the selection of the quality of the honeys as they leave the honey house, then in the preparation of the honeys before packaging, and finally in the packaging itself to preserve all the flavours and virtues of the raw product.

We do not try to impress everyone with exotic or strange honeys. We select and package common honey, some of which are a little rarer and exceptional in taste, such as white heather honey. Our goal is to offer you an explosion of raw flavours in your mouth or in your kitchen. Honey is a fragile product that varies in colour, texture, and flavour from one year to the next, or from one beekeeper to the other, depending on the flowering season or the location of the hives. We try to select the honeys with the best scents, colours, and flavours. Sometimes we get it wrong but it never lasts long...
