Founded in the Drôme in 1975 and named Charles & Alice since 2011, this French food company makes fruit desserts and plant-based recipes in workshops set among the orchards of southeastern France. Its more than 400 employees work with French fruit—especially hand-picked apples sourced an average of 190 kilometres from the production site—and use cold grinding to preserve the fruit’s flavour. The group also holds ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications and operates a PME+ certified site in Allex.
