Our team has recently returned from an enriching visit to the Vendée region in France, where we had the privilege of engaging with one of the world’s most respected duck product specialists, Ernest Soulard.

This visit formed part of our employee recognition and motivation programme, designed to celebrate outstanding performance across the Baltic region. Top-performing sales representatives from each country were invited to gain firsthand insight into the production process and the values behind the products we proudly represent.

During the visit, our team observed how over 80 years of family heritage is thoughtfully combined with modern, responsible innovation. Particularly meaningful was the opportunity to witness:

• Consistently high quality standards maintained at every stage of production

• A strong commitment to animal welfare and carefully managed, specialized nutrition

• The craftsmanship and expertise required to produce premium foie- gras and high-quality duck products

Beyond product excellence, the visit highlighted the importance of transparency, sustainability, and responsible sourcing, values that are central to both our partners and our own operations.

We return with deeper knowledge, strengthened partnerships, and renewed confidence in the products we offer our clients. Experiencing the dedication of the Soulard family firsthand reinforces why their name remains synonymous with quality and trust.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our top-performing colleagues for their commitment and achievements, and our gratitude to the Ernest Soulard team for their warm hospitality and insightful experience.
