Our History
Growing Together Around a Shared Passion
A brand intimately linked to the company’s history and deeply rooted in its local community and CSR philosophy. Driven by a passion for nuts, it has been built step by step, “seed by seed,” until it has established itself as a benchmark among professionals in the food industry.
Its identity is based on strong visual elements: distinctive colors and the tree, a symbol of nut cultivation, which embody its roots, its upstream expertise, and its vision.
Our Expertise
Ingredients carefully managed at every stage, thanks to technical expertise developed to serve the needs of the food industry.
Sourcing
Our teams understand the demands of the food industry and rely on a network of rigorously selected producers and partners. This close relationship ensures full traceability and a precise response to the expectations of professionals, whether general or specific.
An experienced team manages sourcing in close collaboration with the supply chains, ensuring a rigorous selection of raw materials. This approach enables us to build a precise, reliable, and sustainable sourcing system that supports the quality and performance of our ingredients.
Processing
Processing is at the heart of our expertise. We master every step of the process, with the highest standards. This expertise is based on a wide range of processes: shelling, electronic sorting, roasting, chopping, grinding, caramelization, pralining, as well as specific formulations (blends), enabling us to precisely meet the most varied needs (clean label, allergens, Kosher, Halal...).
Packaging
Thanks to our various packaging lines, we are able to accommodate packaging sizes ranging from 125 g to 650 kg.
We offer various formats, such as zip-top doypack pouches (from 125 g to 1 kg) in a modified atmosphere.
For more industrial packaging, we offer vacuum-sealed bags in 2.5-, 5-, 7.5-, or 10-kg sizes, or bulk packaging with blue polyethylene bags in 5-, 10-, 12.5-, and 15-kg sizes. We also offer buckets ranging from 1 to 20 kg, as well as 200 kg metal drums or 650 kg IBCs for pastes.
Our Expertise in Quality & Food Safety
Our priority is to supply ingredients that meet the highest food safety standards, guaranteed by FSSC 22000 certification, a standard recognized by the GFSI.
This commitment is based on a robust quality management system proven over many years: rigorous supplier selection, risk analysis, traceability, systematic quality controls, and analyses in COFRAC-accredited laboratories.
Our controlled processes (sorting, detection, heat treatment) and the expertise of our trained teams ensure rigorous management of physical, chemical, microbiological, and allergen hazards, with a focus on continuous improvement.
Our Support
Our recognized expertise enables us to support the most demanding players in the food industry by developing tailored ingredients and supporting their innovations.
We offer customized solutions with controlled lead times, dedicated support, and tailored packaging and delivery options both in France and internationally.
Our Processing Methods
Sorting
This process, performed when raw materials enter our plant as well as on finished products, ensures that the presence of foreign matter is virtually zero.
Chopping
This process produces pieces of various sizes (particle sizes).
Sizing
This ensures compliance with the particle sizes specified in the specifications for whole or chopped fruits.
Roasting
This process is carried out continuously in a conveyor oven. We adapt to our customers’ microbiological and organoleptic requirements by adjusting the roasting parameters (time and temperature).
Caramelization
This process involves coating the product with a thin layer of caramelized sugar (3%), which provides excellent barrier properties against moisture absorption and oxidation while preserving the fruit’s original flavor and enhancing its appearance with the caramel’s shine.
Pralinization
During this step, the product is coated with a layer of cooked sugar ranging from 20 to 50%, giving it a distinctive taste and crunch. The addition of salt and/or butter during the “sweet/salty” process creates new sensory experiences that are highly appreciated by consumers.
Grinding
By using a slow, gradual grinding process, we are able to produce a fine, creamy paste made from 100% pure fruit, which serves as a flavor base for ice cream, chocolate, and pastries (such as fillings).
Blending
Based on a pre-established request, we can create blends combining dried fruits and other ingredients (nougat, raisins, chocolate chips, etc.).
