FROZEN FRUIT Sharing our best fruits with creative Chefs. INGREDIENTS www.androschef.fr
A FAMILY PASSION Andros story is set in the verdant Lot fruit region in south-western France, where the iconic Cère and Dordogne rivers converge. Its beginnings took shape at the dawning of the twentieth century, in 1910, with a small fruit and nut business. It is the story of a family s tenacious passion, not only for fruit, but also for their region. Generation after generation, their passion has grown, flourished, and been tirelessly pursued. Bold with passion and wealthy with knowledge, Andros stepped into its jam-making activity during the 1950 s. Thereafter, it was not long before the brands Bonne Maman and Andros developed their own reputation for quality, both within France and internationally. International recognition has not changed the bearing of Andros story: more than ever it is a tale of the pursuit of flavor; more than ever, a tale of the values of its origins; steadfastly told from a little village by the river.
PARTNERS FOR EXCELLENCE Andros is a very proud supporter of some of the most prestigious culinary competitions in France. These competitions, organized by Chefs for Chefs, make substantial contributions towards the perfecting of techniques and know-how, as well as assuring their dissemination, through the will and the new vocations that they incite. These events, along with some of the smaller initiatives that Andros supports, are essential to the preservation and the enrichment of the professions that they represent and carry with them important values that our company shares.
What fruit excellence requires.. In the field of fruit, the quest for excellence requires long preparation. The work is comparable to the cultivation of a tree where, to enjoy the return, each season, of beautiful fruit, there must first be good earth and vigour at the root. Natural recipes At Andros, our ingredients do not include any additives to correct or modify flavor, aroma, or color. To understand our quality, one must first understand the quality of our fruits, and of the transformation processes used, which are as delicate as possible. Dedicated growing sites The selection of the best varieties and origins is based on the sum of the knowledge acquired over time by our team of agronomists. Patiently, they have built lasting partnerships in the form of dedicated plantations, providing growers with secure, long-term incomes. Our dedicated cultivation programs are unique in France and guarantee us 14,000 tonnes per year of fresh fruit that meets our discerning needs. Working with fresh and ripe fruit Even when rigorously selected, a good fruit is only good when ripe. In order to guarantee flavor, we have put in place a unique network of factories (six in Europe alone) each strategically located within the best fruitgrowing regions, and all working with fresh fruit that is harvested and delivered at optimal ripeness.
