The Léonce Blanc purchasing, quality and R&D teams work closely together to test and select the varieties of each fruit which are of the best quality for optimum stability in purees and sauces especially.
To do this, a “test and validation” protocol mobilises the teams in several stages:
- Taste tests are done on the site where the fruit is cultivated.
- The tests are replicated internally on our production sites in order to validate the quality and stability of the fruits selected.
We have always chosen the fruits which are best adapted to our quality requirements.
