Le goût du Roquefort PAPILLON est inimitable. C’est celui de la tradition, d’une personnalité typée dont le secret réside pour une grande part dans l’originalité du Pénicillium Roqueforti. Paissant entre 750 et 1100 mètres, une altitude où les herbages présentent les meilleures qualités, nos brebis sont traites matin et soir. Le lait, acheminé jusqu'à la fromagerie PAPILLON quelques heures après la traite, il est, après caillage, découpé en tout petits dés, selon des méthodes issues des traditions fromagères du Pays de Roquefort. Incorporé au caillé de brebis dès la laiterie, le Pénicillium Roqueforti est un des ingrédients essentiels de la saveur du produit. Il est issu du pain fabriqué par les Fromageries PAPILLON, obtenu à partir de seigles cultivés sur des terrains acides à 1000 mètres d’altitude où tout engrais chimique est prohibé. Après mise en forme, le fromage est égoutté et salé. Le fromage est ensuite placé sur chant au coeur des caves. Ici les fleurines, véritables failles naturelles reliant la cave à l’air libre, permettent de maintenir un taux d’humidité constant. Dès lors, le Pénicillium Roqueforti va poursuivre son lent travail et étendre ses veinures bleues au coeur de la pâte. En moyenne, 150 jours et plus de 70 contrôles qualité sont encore nécessaires pour parfaire l’affinage d’un Roquefort PAPILLON.

In the World of cheese producers Le Larry takes a particular place. We produce goat cheese in a traditional manner, with the same enthusiasm with which we started 25 years ago. Le Larry is the story of Gino and Nadine de Clercq, two creative entrepreneurs originating from East-Flanders in Belgium. Given their background, it is actually no surprise that they would undertake something in the agro-food sector. Gino comes from a family of greenhouse builders in the flower town of Lochristi. He studied at a cooking school. Nadine originates from a family of farmers. In 1981 they started a goat farm in Lochristi "as they wanted to do something that would bring them close to nature". To learn the process of cheese making, they went to France. Initially Gino and Nadine produced a type of quark cheese. Until the moment they met with a specialist in the neighbourhood of Amiens in the North of France. There they discovered how to prepare a fresh cheese "à la louche". Then and there Le Larry cheese was born and in the First few years the product was especially delivered in the region around Lille in the North of France.

OLIVES & CO grew from a meeting of minds, the minds of 3 impassioned men who used their sense of taste, experience and timing to build a common goal. Together they founded a food-processing group whose offering was based on products with a Mediterranean flavour. OLIVES & CO thus came into being in 2007 and currently comprises 4 French SME's, each enjoying great success in their respective markets: fresh olives, spreads and fish soups. United by the same passion, Mediterranean cuisine, and fired by a single ambition, these 4 entities have made OLIVES & CO a group firmly focused on innovation and serving the needs of the gourmet industry. It is this synergy of specialist skills and values that allowed the OLIVES & CO group, composed of 90 people striving daily to offer quality, innovative, authentic products, to post sales of 18 million Euros in 2010. A success based at once on: - experience and know-how in product and packaging - state-of-the-art infrastructures: 3 industrial sites (including one fully-refrigerated) satisfying the most exacting food safety standards (IFS/BRC certifications version 5) - capacity for innovation, thanks to the determination of its dynamic team and the co-operation of a top chef - adaptability, allowing the group to propose an extended offering of products under its own brands, or for other players, including retailers.

It all began almost a century ago! Haitoglou family had just arrived in Thessaloniki, Greece after leeing Asia Minor. The most important thing they brought with them was not their belongings: It was their love for family traditions and a secret family recipe for making the most popular sesame-based treat… Halva.

It was in 1924 that they opened a small shop dedicated to creating their delicious halva by hand in small batches, continuing the craft their fathers and grandfathers had taught them.

Throughout the years many things changed: the small shop became the center of attention for everyone that loved halva, as more and more people were drawn to this artisanal treat.

But some things remained the same: The passion to create the best products, the legacy embodied in the family’s secret recipe and, of course, the symbol of a female figure in a traditional Northern Greek costume.

The “woman from Thessaloniki” - or the “Halva Lady” as she became widely known - the proud, graceful figure with no name, started as a symbol to help people identify their favorite halva at a time when many couldn’t read. While the image evolved over time, it’s still the emblem of Haitoglou Family Foods, as it embodies our roots, heritage and tradition.

Building on our family’s values, we continue our mission with a passion to share our legacy, our unique craft and our favorite products with every family, as we have done for four generations.
