After Pasta (gluten-free) from Provence, Grissinis!!

The border has never been so porous with our neighbours. It is against another transalpine icon that this organic manufacturer based in Provence is successfully challenging.

Here again, it is innovation that makes the difference to export.

Indeed, these Provençal breadsticks show at least three qualitative changes that have been appreciated:

1. a crispy lamb’s lettuce then melts in the mouth;
2. a frank flavoring 100% from the ingredients;
3. a short recipe with an attractive nutritional balance.

This successful range diversification is the result of a “step by step” strategy

1. To come firstly with a “spearhead” range concentrating the differentiating know-how of the manufacturer;
2. Being offered to the export distributor partner the means to protect themselves from competition and to communicate;
3. Once confidence has been established, unroll its complements to the range.

After Easter, it’s Christmas for the Norman organic chocolate factory with a large order of craft subjects.

The French organic chocolate is facing a double challenge to be exported in Germany :

  – Impose a chocolate quality, less sugar and cocoa butter that our neighboring European chocolate;
– Justify a higher selling price.

It is the successful challenge by the Normandy chocolate maker with Bio / Fair-Trade Easter chocolates.

The german distributor who listed the French couverture chocolate is a specialist in organic Fair Trade products which very hight graded & very strict specifications.

This is so an excellent result to have been selected for this industrial trial.
