innovating without compromising on taste

portrait de Jean Luc L'hourre

The art of producing good, tasty food is at the heart of everything we do.

Our recipes are developed in partnership with chefs and expert cooks. For over 10 years we have been working closely with top chef Jean-Luc L’HOURRE, who was voted “Meilleur Ouvrier de France” in 2000  and has been awarded several Michelin stars.

We are also members and co-founders of the “Centre Culinaire Contemporain” in Rennes. This research centre is a real hothouse for creating new recipes and exploring, developing and testing new culinary ideas and techniques.

Selection L'Hourre

Each and every new creation is tested by a panel of consumers so that we can ensure our products are keeping up with the latest trends and meeting the needs of our customers.
