The contact with this company took very unexpected detours.  A customer from Calgary discovered the Groix & Nature products in a famous Parisian grocery store.  She sent us a picture of the range and expressed her interest in us importing it.

To our astonishment we realized that the company was located on Groix island off the small Briton town where Lucie has her roots.  A first meeting on the island with Marianne Guyader, general manager, convinced us that we share the same values such as the valorization of high-quality artisanal products.

We have chosen to include in our assortment the Rillettes of salmon, sardines, and other fish or crustacean which are an excellent addition on a platter of cheese and charcuterie as well as the lobster oil which is ideal to enhance your dishes such as pasta or fish.
