MILKS OF QUALITY In France, all producers from whom we collect milk subscribe to our Charter for Best Farming Practices and are audited every two years. The charter provides quality assurance focusing equally on animal wellbeing and respect for the environment. Cows that are well fed and well treated give the best milk.

ALL DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY Providing consumers with superior and recognized quality is a goal shared by all our teams. We have the support of the know-how of our master cheesemakers and butter makers, of rigorous standards and of proven assessment tools. We take account of all the dimensions of quality: taste, aroma, consistency, color, appearance, ease of use, pleasure, nutritional value, benefits for health and wellbeing, period of conservation, price.

Consumers are consulted from product design onwards; products are then regularly assessed both by consumer panels and by staff trained in sensorial analysis. A close attention to consumers remarks contributes both to quality improvement and to new product development.

NATURALLY SAVORY Consumers are ever more attentive to the origin and to natural and nutritional qualities of products.

Our capacity to formulate products free of preservatives or artificial flavorings is a precious advantage. We invest in advanced research and leading-edge technologies, such as ultrafiltration, designed to improve products nutritional profile whilst preserving their taste and texture. The use of natural flavorings, and reducing the salt content of cheeses and the sugar content of dessert preparations, are all natural ways of formulating balanced and savory products.
