At Brioches Fonteneau, quality is at the heart of our business, with the meticulous selection of every ingredient we use and the partners we source from. This continuous demand for quality is inseparable from our environmental and ethical responsibilities. To achieve this, we work with all of our partners in a long-term co-construction process.
Our brioches are made from quality ingredients and are designed to be both tasty and convivial:

For more than 40 years, we have been using French flours from the IGP zone (Grand Ouest) and in 2020, we joined the GIE “CRC”. This membership of the “Culture Raisonnée Contrôlée” (Controlled Reasoned Cultivation) network strengthens our commitments since our flours meet specific specifications:
- local (Grand Ouest);
- from reasoned crops, without post-harvest treatment;
- respectful of good agricultural practices favourable to biodiversity;
- better remuneration for producers.
Being a concerned producer

40% of our turnover is made with products from controlled and certified quality chains (Label Rouge, IGP and organic).
Our approach to improvement and innovation is constant. This allows us to regularly offer new healthy recipes (without additives) while perpetuating an ancestral know-how. Our objective: to meet the current expectations of our customers and to contribute to the “gourmet well-being” of our consumers.
At Brioches Fonteneau, we actively fight against food waste. We make numerous donations to associations and 100% of our organic waste is recovered and used for animal feed.
