Selected origins
WILD MUSHROOMS SELECTED AT SOURCE
Securing the supply of mushrooms is a strategic operation given the irregularity of harvests and the instability of prices. Over the years, Maison Borde has built a reliable supply network that allows it to select the best raw materials at source.
Whether in Eastern Europe, South America, Asia or France, sourcing is carried out worldwide with one major concern: impeccable quality. It is based on long-term partnerships and the implementation of strict specifications with our suppliers.
A major concern
THE CULTURE OF QUALITY
In food, trust is the indispensable foundation on which a brand is built. It requires a high level of quality. The mushroom is a fragile product, extremely sensitive and permeable to its environment. From the outset, the Borde company has proven its know-how in the implementation of rigorous procedures which guarantee unbeatable levels of quality.
