Jean Martin, a family saga

In 1920, an idea sprouted in Jean Martin's mind: to unlock the secret of the broken olive from the Vallée des Baux de Provence. Scented with wild fennel, these green diamonds then marketed under the La Maussanaise brand formed the basis of the Jean Martin company.

• 1920 : Creation of the local olive confectionery by Jean Martin in Maussane-les-Alpilles in the heart of Provence
• 1956 : Frost of olive trees in the Baux de Provence valley. Development of a quality Mediterranean olive sector
• 1978 : Arrival of the founder's grandsons Bernard and Louis who create the vegetable canning business
• Today : 2 factories, 1 olive grove, 40 employees, 6 million jars/year and still 100% family owned
