VALUES AND COMMITMENTS
Values of Tradition, Gastronomy and the Landes
With these 3 main principles at heart, we fight both for French gastronomy and for the preservation of the environment, traditions that have guaranteed the original quality, authentic and unique, for generations and generations.
To perpetuate these values, we are continually committed and proud to accept our responsibilities, now and in the future, for the animals we raise, for the people who eat them, for the area and for the planet, for consumers we want to treat and the professionals we want to serve.
