THE HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY

In 1969, François and Maggy Doucet took over one of the last remaining almond processing workshops in Oraison, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. They built on ancestral recipes while pursuing creativity and excellence in the production of their French confectioneries.

PRODUCTION WORKSHOPS

Each manager of our chocolate and fruit jelly workshops orchestrates and passes on ancestral production processes. Jealously guarded recipes and little secrets go into perfecting the flavours of our famous products, including sugared almonds, chocolate “Olives de Provence” and glazed fruit jellies.

TRACEABLE AND HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENTS

François Doucet Confiseur’s partnerships with producers and cooperatives enable us to source our ingredients from the best crop-growing regions, while also helping suppliers to grow by paying a fair price for their work. 75% of the fruit used to make our fruit jellies comes from Provence (such as Orangé de Provence apricots from the Baronnies, quinces from the Drôme, figs from the Var, and Golden Delicious apples and Williams pears from the Hautes-Alpes).

Our almond plantation

Since 2018, more than 2200 almond trees have been planted, just a few miles from the workshops. This sustainable project will support the pursuit of excellence and eventually cover more than 10% of the company’s needs, while giving priority to local stakeholders.
