Rooted at the heart of Normandy’s bocage landscape since 1945, Elle & Vire® creates a range of creams and butters whose flavour and technical performance are exceptional.
Its superiority, which results from a selection of raw materials of the highest quality and unrivalled dairy know-how, is recognized by Chefs in search of excellence.
A temperate climate, frequent rain, and nutrient-rich green grass provide the ideal conditions for our cows to produce milk of superior quality.
At Elle & Vire®, our French milk comes from family-sized farms with herds of approximately 66 cows who spend 180 days per year on average in the region’s lush meadows*.
