Piotr preaches for his new parish: Moulin du Château. What a change of life for this former priest of the Balinese region for 25 years!
Today, he devotes himself entirely to his job as a miller. In 1994, he and Ange-François Vincentelli began planting the six hundred olive trees at A Pieve.
Over the years, the estate has grown to fourteen hectares and, after twenty-five years, boasts 4,000 trees! Since 2015, Piotr has been offering a selection of processed products such as tapenades, made in a specialized kitchen in Calvi; as well as a range of cold-saponified soaps. What's essential to me," confides the former clergyman, "is its eternal character.
In Christian tradition, the olive tree never dies, even after a fire. Eternity has a meaning. And oil can be produced today with modern machinery! But do you know the mill's sacred mission?" concludes Piotr, enigmatically.
For 12 years, holy oil has been made here in Feliceto in the traditional way!
