RAW MATERIALS: WHY ORGANIC?

The principles of organic farming are founded on respect and protection of natural ecosystems and their genetic diversity and the production of food with a high nutritive value. Organic farming contributes towards the protection of the environment for the benefit of future generations and is the basis of a durable economic system. Unlike conventional food production, where the environmental and social costs keep on rising and finish by impacting on the budget of taxpayers, organic farming does nothing to exacerbate health related problems caused by the presence of chemical residue in food or environmental problems of all sorts.

A majority of regional basic raw materials is used, thereby ensuring transparency and traceability. Where the raw materials are not produced in the region, they come from productions which are monitored and certified by an official organisation (usually ECOCERT).

GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCTION
We produce our own flour. The buckwheat is received husk-free and is ground using a millstone, which provides the guarantee of gluten-free flour. There is no mixing of the production before entering the laboratory - this removes any risk of contamination of our produce through the presence of materials that do not strictly comply with our production and ethic.

THE BISCUIT

The sweet taste of the biscuit will immediately satisfy anyone who is fond of delicacies. But the high nutritional value of the biscuit - resulting from the variety of the basic ingredients - must not be forgotten. These biscuits are like small concentrated cereal packs that are easy to carry and ready-to-eat!

In the "Manuel élémentaire de l'alimentation humaine", Doctor Trémolières includes desserts in the list of "complement courses" taken at the end of a meal. They can be extremely varieand selected according to the rest of the meal to contain elements for which some members of the family have a special need, for example: a supplement for manual workers, children or anyone playing sports. Rich in carbon hydrates, these biscuits can be consumed as a sweet snack and, depending on their ingredients, may help combat insomnia or relieve constipation.

NUTRITIVE VALUE OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS IN OUR BISCUITS
