Our Story
Meet Evelyne
Evelyne grew up in the south of France in the very special and beautiful area of Provence, amongst olive trees, garrigue and lavender crops. This place, where her parents and brothers have always been living, has been an amazing play land for these kids of countryside.
Passionate by nature and the constantly changing seasons with its colors and smells, Evelyne completed her studies in horticulture as well as gained a Bachelor of Business in Nice (French Riviera, where she is still living). This brought her to work in major international companies for many years.
However, the love for her land and that little voice in Evelyne's head never left her. It was during the COVID-19 lockdown that Evelyne had time to think about her true passion and speak to her family about her dream.
"My commitment is simple. I do everything possible to help local famers value their quality product, limiting intermediaries and communicating their attachment to their terroir, in the pure respect of traditions and environment."
Isope Provence
Why this name? What does it mean?
We wanted a name representative of the beautiful flowers of Provence. Our first thought was “Hysope”, like the new crops my brother harvests. The name was however existing, so we decided “Isope Provence” suited better instead.
A PASSION PASSED ON FROM generation to generation
For more than 60 years, our family has cultivated lavender and other plants to obtain Essential Oils. Ditto for the surrounding farms. It is reassuring to see that, while the world is moving fast, very fast, transmission from generation to generation is respected. Machines and processes evolve but the attachment of these men for their land and their passion remain intact.
Isope Provence sells Essential Oils, mainly produced by David, who is continuing the family farm as well as the neighbors' ones close by, whom are also cultivating traditional crops, conventionally or organically. The most known are Lavandin Grosso, Lavandin Super, Lavandula Maillette, Diva but also Rosemary, Provencal Cypress, Thyme Thyanol, Oregano, Tarragon, Carrott seed and Hyssop. Productions are both traditional and organic.
