Our commitments

Since its creation, the house of Nicolas Alziari has been committed to cultivating excellence while respecting nature, people and traditions. We believe that an exceptional olive oil can only be born from a deep attachment to the land and a sincere commitment to the future. That’s why we are multiplying responsible initiatives, from the field to the shops.


> At the heart of our domains


In Nice Estate 

  • Organic farming on our 60 hectares of olive groves.
  • Nothing is lost: after harvesting and pressing, each element of the olive is reused.
    • The paste becomes a natural fertilizer
    • The leaves are transformed into mulching.
    • The nuclei are used as fuel for our boilers.
  • A herd of 60 sheep naturally maintains the estate, limiting the use of brush cutters and fertilizers.
  • Responsible harvest: latest generation electrical equipment to reduce noise pollution and limit our environmental impact.
  • Valorization of plants: milling and mulching rather than burning.​
  • HVE (High Environmental Value) certification in progress.
  • Zero waste: decommissioned oils find a second life in cosmetics.
