Focus on a few exhibitors :
Jean Martin
Established in Maussane-les-Alpilles, in the heart of Provence for nearly a century, Jean Martin creates all-natural and authentic conserves from Mediterranean vegetables and olives. With the organic range and its seasonal vegetables, the brand is turning increasingly to local supplies and asserting its environmental credentials by producing recipes free of colourings, preservatives, palm oil, additives, GM ingredients and allergens.
Jean Martin selects products that protect the living conditions of producers, and displays its commitment to CSR and local sources through the label Entrepreneurs
plus engages.
Label d’Oc
Founded more than three years ago, Label d’Oc is a conserve manufacturer for local producers in the Occitanie region. By combining its know-how with that of regional producers, it can make use of production surpluses, and highlight their produce. Since 2017, Label d’Oc has also offered an inventive range entitled 7/e (in French “c’est eux” meaning “it’s them” – the producers) which associates advocacy with the taste benefits of home-made cooking. This range is guaranteed additive-free, and is made from raw materials exclusively produced in Occitanie.
Brasserie Larché
La Brasserie Larché has been brewing bottle-refermented craft beers with honey from the Yonne region for more than 20 years.
In March 2018, the brand launched a new gluten-free lager produced from 100% organic ingredients.
Brasserie Larché will present it for the first time at Natexpo 2018.
Marie de Mazet
Marie de Mazet is a producer of organic medicinal plants established in the Cévennes region for more than 20 years.
Before the farm was founded in 1995, the land was not cultivated and the ground has therefore always been free of any chemical input. Weeding and picking is performed by hand. Marie de Mazet sells infusions, herbal teas, drinks, floral waters, and home-made jams made from red fruit and organic plants.
