All about Borde
Maison Borde
Three generations of entrepreneurs, Alexandre, Gérard and now Alain Borde have developed their thriving family business around an exceptional product: wild mushrooms. Today, Borde is a successful modern enterprise seeking to rapidly develop its presence both in France and internationally.
Adaptability
A family business based in Saugues and dating back almost a century, in the hills of the Gévaudan, Borde’s history was forged by the rhythms of rural life and the tradition of wild mushroom hunting. As part of its mission, the company has made innovation its pathway to growth. Thanks to new packaging, products and services, as well as the company’s adaptability and flexibility, Borde has earnt itself worldwide recognition.
Our DNA
Borde understands that innovation is the key to the company’s growth. Each year Borde creates packaging and processing improvements and offers unique new products: culinary aids, freeze-dried wild mushrooms.
Influenced by trends in the restaurant and food-service industry, consumer trends evolve and become dominant trends such as snacking, unstructured mealtimes, and the demand for healthy products. Borde welcomes these market evolutions with its innovative new products. Meanwhile, partnerships with chefs allow the company to test and maximise our offerings.
