The specialities

The wealth and identity of our territory "Hérault Méditerranée" is also the flavour of its products. They benefit from a know-how preserved by men who passionately maintain this centuries-old heritage.
The cellars and wine estates invite you to discover their AOC production : Clairette du Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc, Picpoul de Pinet, Pézenas or Grès de Montpellier.

The local produce will let you discover specialities such as :

• oysters and mussels from the Etang de Thau ;
• the croustade of Bessan, a flake pastry filled with a mixture of raisins or chocolate and walnuts ;
• the sweet onion of Lézignan-la-Cèbe, recognisable by its flat and lengthened form, and found at the markets from late May to September ;
• the fig of Nézignan-l'Evêque, mellow and tasty, the pride of the "Bécos Figos" (fig eaters). An experimental orchard and arboretum now bring together more than 80 varieties of this noble tree ;
• the petit pâté de Pézenas, a sweet and salty, spool-shaped pastry, brought in the middle of the 18th century by the Indian cooks of Lord Clive, Vice-Roy of India ;
• the chocolates with local produce, the aperitif chocolates, the shortbreads with figs or olives of Pomérols ;
• but also honey, fruit jelly, sweets, meats, melons, peppers …
