Fromagers de Tradition, a subsidiary of the OLGA Group, specializes in producing a diverse selection of high-quality PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) cheeses and regional specialties made from raw milk, all crafted in accordance with traditional expertise. The Pornic facility focuses on making Curé Nantais cheese in the heart of Pays de Retz, while the Boissey facility, established in 1810, is well-known for its PDO cheeses and other specialties from Normandy.
Founded in 1980, the Beillevaire Group produces and distributes a wide range of cheeses, including five varieties with Protected Designation of Origin, such as Brie de Meaux, Brie de Melun, Picodon, Camembert de Normandie (made from raw milk and ladled), and Chabichou du Poitou, as well as cheeses with Protected Geographical Indication. The group also offers butter, desserts, and dairy products known for their quality, authenticity, and unique identity. Owned by the Beillevaire family and co-managed by Fabrice and Mathieu Beillevaire, along with their father Pascal Beillevaire, the company’s founder, it reports an annual turnover of approximately €100 million and employs over 500 people. With its production infrastructure that includes eight manufacturing plants (one dedicated solely to plant-based desserts), five aging cellars, and three logistics platforms, the Beillevaire Group processes 30 million liters of milk each year and markets around 600 dairy product references through its own network of shops, open-air markets, and specialized halls, as well as through mass distribution channels, B2B, and export markets.
OLGA strategically decided to divest this business segment and engaged AURIS Finance as its exclusive advisor. After a selective competitive process, the Beillevaire Group was chosen to acquire this business. This transaction allows the Beillevaire Group to diversify its product portfolio, particularly with the introduction of two new PDO products.
