- About The Region -

The cuisine of Provence is characterized by its simplicity, freshness, and use of local ingredients. Olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and basil form the foundation of Provençal cooking. The region's sunny climate and fertile soil provide an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Seafood plays a prominent role in Provençal cuisine, with the Mediterranean coast offering a bounty of fish and shellfish. Bouillabaisse, a fragrant fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille, is a quintessential example of the region's seafood delicacies. The region is also known for its exceptional wines, with renowned appellations such as Côtes de Provence, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Bandol producing world-class rosés, reds, and whites.
