Le maire de la commune de <\/span>Le Rove<\/span><\/b> (Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne) est <\/span>Paul Sabatino<\/span><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il est entr\u00e9 en fonction \u00e0 la suite de la d\u00e9mission de <\/span>Georges Rosso<\/span><\/b>, qui a occup\u00e9 la mairie pendant 44 ans (de 1981 \u00e0 2025).<\/span><\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9sentation de la commune<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

La commune du Rove se situe dans le massif de la Nerthe, entre L\u2019Estaque (Marseille) et Ensu\u00e8s-la-Redonne. Le chef-lieu occupe une d\u00e9pression orient\u00e9e approximativement d\u2019ouest en est, entre 170 et 110 m\u00e8tres d\u2019altitude, entour\u00e9e de collines calcaires \u00e0 la maigre v\u00e9g\u00e9tation, et reli\u00e9e au littoral m\u00e9diterran\u00e9en par des vallons \u00e9troits et sinueux, dont l\u2019un (vallon du Gipier) permet de joindre Marseille, et l\u2019autre (vallon du R\u00e9gadzi) d\u00e9bouche sur deux calanques habit\u00e9es : la Vesse et Niolon. C\u00f4t\u00e9 nord, la commune couvre le flanc du massif, et s\u2019arr\u00eate \u00e0 la limite de la plaine. Sa superficie est de 2 297 hectares soit 22,97 km2. Son altitude la plus basse se situe au niveau de la mer, le point culminant se trouve \u00e0 263 m, la moyenne \u00e9tant de 132 m2.<\/p>\n

1. La capitale de la Brousse du Rove (AOP)<\/h3>\n

C’est sans doute sa renomm\u00e9e la plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre \u00e0 travers la Provence.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    La ch\u00e8vre du Rove :<\/b> Une race rustique locale reconnaissable \u00e0 ses superbes cornes torsad\u00e9es (en forme de lyre).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Le fromage :<\/b> La Brousse du Rove<\/b> est un fromage frais au lait entier de ch\u00e8vre, traditionnellement moul\u00e9 \u00e0 la louche. C’est un produit d’exception, prot\u00e9g\u00e9 par une AOP (Appellation d’origine prot\u00e9g\u00e9e), tr\u00e8s pris\u00e9 par les grands chefs et les amateurs de gastronomie proven\u00e7ale.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Un littoral spectaculaire sur la C\u00f4te Bleue<\/h3>\n

    Le Rove poss\u00e8de une portion de c\u00f4te sauvage et pr\u00e9serv\u00e9e parmi les plus belles de la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e, adoss\u00e9e aux falaises calcaires de la cha\u00eene de la Nerthe :<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Niolon et La Vesse :<\/b> Deux petits ports de p\u00eache pittoresques et des calanques aux eaux cristallines, accessibles par la c\u00e9l\u00e8bre ligne de chemin de fer de la C\u00f4te Bleue<\/b> (qui traverse de nombreux viaducs et tunnels creus\u00e9s dans la roche). Niolon est \u00e9galement un haut lieu mondialement connu pour la plong\u00e9e sous-marine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      L’absence de route directe facile :<\/b> Le village du Rove est perch\u00e9 en hauteur dans les collines, tandis que ses calanques (Niolon, La Vesse) sont nich\u00e9es en contrebas au bord de l’eau, ce qui leur a longtemps pr\u00e9serv\u00e9 un calme et un isolement rare face au tourisme de masse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3. Le Tunnel du Rove (un ouvrage titanesque)<\/h3>\n

      Sur le territoire de la commune se trouve l’entr\u00e9e nord du fameux tunnel du Rove<\/b>, un tunnel souterrain de navigation creus\u00e9 au d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle pour relier l’\u00e9tang de Berre au port de Marseille. Long de plus de 7 kilom\u00e8tres, c’\u00e9tait \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque le plus grand tunnel souterrain pour navires au monde (bien qu’il soit aujourd’hui ferm\u00e9 \u00e0 la navigation suite \u00e0 un \u00e9boulement).<\/p>\n

      4. Un cadre de vie entre garrigues et mer<\/h3>\n

      Le village lui-m\u00eame a su conserver son \u00e2me de village proven\u00e7al, entour\u00e9 de massifs de collines sauvages couverts de pin\u00e8des et de garrigue, offrant des panoramas exceptionnels \u00e0 couper le souffle sur toute la rade de Marseille, l’archipel du Frioul et l’\u00c9tang de Berre.<\/p>\n

      La <\/span>Brousse du Rove<\/span><\/b> est un produit d’exception reconnu par une <\/span>AOP (Appellation d’Origine Prot\u00e9g\u00e9e)<\/span><\/b>.<\/span> Plusieurs particularit\u00e9s uniques la distinguent des autres fromages frais et des brousses industrielles :<\/p>\n

      1. Du lait de ch\u00e8vre (et non du petit-lait)<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        Contrairement \u00e0 la majorit\u00e9 des brousses proven\u00e7ales, au <\/span>Brocciu<\/span><\/i> corse ou \u00e0 la <\/span>Ricotta<\/span><\/i> italienne (qui sont fabriqu\u00e9s \u00e0 partir du lactos\u00e9rum \/ \u00ab\u00a0petit-lait\u00a0\u00bb r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9 apr\u00e8s la fabrication d’autres fromages), <\/span>la Brousse du Rove est fabriqu\u00e9e directement \u00e0 partir de lait entier et cru de ch\u00e8vre<\/span><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        2. Une race de ch\u00e8vre exclusive : la Ch\u00e8vre du Rove<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • \n

          Elle est produite exclusivement<\/b> avec le lait de la race caprine du Rove, facilement reconnaissable \u00e0 ses grandes cornes torsad\u00e9es en forme de lyre.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Cette ch\u00e8vre rustique produit peu de lait, mais un lait extr\u00eamement riche en mati\u00e8res grasses et en prot\u00e9ines, aux ar\u00f4mes d’amande douce et de plantes de garrigue (romarin, gen\u00eat, ch\u00eane kerm\u00e8s) qu’elle pait en libert\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          3. Une fabrication artisanale sans pr\u00e9sure (la floculation)<\/span><\/h3>\n
            \n
          • \n

            La coagulation du lait ne se fait <\/span>pas avec de la pr\u00e9sure<\/span><\/b>, mais par un proc\u00e9d\u00e9 de <\/span>floculation thermique<\/span><\/b> : le lait est chauff\u00e9 \u00e0 haute temp\u00e9rature (autour de 85-90 \u00b0C), puis on y ajoute un acidifiant naturel (traditionnellement du vinaigre blanc).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Le fromage \u00ab\u00a0flocule\u00a0\u00bb (monte en surface sous forme de flocons onctueux). Le chef-fromager r\u00e9cup\u00e8re d\u00e9licatement la cr\u00e8me \u00e0 l’\u00e9cumoire pour la mouler \u00e0 la main.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            4. Un moule et un format caract\u00e9ristiques<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • \n

              Elle est moul\u00e9e dans de petits c\u00f4nes allong\u00e9s appel\u00e9s <\/span>faisselles<\/span><\/b> ou <\/span>cornets<\/span><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Historiquement, ces fromages \u00e9taient moul\u00e9s et vendus dans de v\u00e9ritables <\/span>cornes de b\u00e9lier<\/span><\/b>, d’o\u00f9 leur forme tr\u00e8s particuli\u00e8re.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              5. Une texture et un go\u00fbt incomparables<\/h3>\n
                \n
              • \n

                P\u00e2te :<\/span><\/b> Blanche, souple, ultra-onctueuse, fondante et l\u00e9g\u00e8rement brillante (non granuleuse).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Saveur :<\/span><\/b> Tr\u00e8s douce, d\u00e9licate, l\u00e9g\u00e8rement acidul\u00e9e, sans l’amertume ou la puissance animale forte qu’on associe parfois au fromage de ch\u00e8vre.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                6. Comment elle se d\u00e9guste ?<\/h3>\n

                Elle se consomme tr\u00e8s fra\u00eeche (dans les 5 jours suivant sa fabrication) :<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • \n

                  En version sucr\u00e9e (la plus traditionnelle) :<\/b> Napp\u00e9e d’un filet de miel, saupoudr\u00e9e d’un peu de sucre ou arros\u00e9e d’eau de fleur d’oranger.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  En version sal\u00e9e :<\/span><\/b> Avec de l’huile d’olive, de la ciboulette, du sel et de la fleur de poivre, ou int\u00e9gr\u00e9e dans des pr\u00e9parations culinaires m\u00e9diterran\u00e9ennes.\"\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
