Hazelnut Orchads
Château La Grave Béchade, 47120, Baleyssagues
Address copied!
Description:
Commonly referred to as a "casserie," this facility is dedicated to the extraction of hazelnuts, where the shell is separated from the nut to recover the inside before it is sent to chocolateries.
The estate was acquired in 2015 by a renowned French chocolatier.
Founded in 1871, the SCHAAL house is a historic reference in the production of French chocolate. In 1967, the BURRUS family, chocolatiers since 1912, took over this artisanal factory, continuing the tradition while expanding its horizons. Over time, the house has become a benchmark brand, committed to values of authenticity, taste exploration, and generosity (cultivation of cocoa, coffee, tea, orchards, etc.).
It became evident for us to develop the cultivation of hazelnuts and almonds in Lot-et-Garonne, ensuring the production of exceptional fruits.
We also maintain several vineyard plots for the “Côte de Duras” appellation, known for its characterful wines.
Today, with 400 hectares of hazelnut orchards, we have designed our shop to showcase hazelnuts in all their forms through our chocolates and a wide range of products (pâtés, beer, oil, flour, etc.), crafted in collaboration with local artisans.
Tours are available year-round by appointment: €5 per person
Shop hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM – Saturday, 10 AM to 1 PM
