Loire Valley Roots
Originally, all along the Loire river, there were small artisan oil mills that roasted and extracted the oil from nuts gathered by local farmers. La Tourangelle is one of just a handful of these remaining mills that keep this tradition alive. Over the next century and a half, the company refined their production processes and adopted appropriate technologies that honored this artisanal beginning.
French Simplicity Meets California Living
In the early 1990's ownership passed to the Kohlmeyer family and La Tourangelle entered in a renaissance phase that saw its business expand internationally and a passion for promoting specialty oils. In 2002, the second eldest son, Matthieu, moved to California's Bay Area to recreate his family's French artisan oil mill. To replicate the century-old equipment, he had to have it custom-made, and his American staff was then trained by an oil-roasting artisan from France.

Family-Owned, Globally Loved
Today, La Tourangelle remains a thriving family-owned business whose mastery of oil production is the fruit of passion, integrity, and pride. In addition to its own nut oils, La Tourangelle has established partnerships with a handpicked selection of like-minded high quality oil producers, chosen to bring you artisan oils.
