PROFILE |
 |
You can't always judge a company by its name -- Bongrain makes cheese, not bread. Bongrain makes a variety of commodity and specialty cheeses, including Brie, Camembert, and goat cheese. Europe accounts for more than 80% of sales and France alone rings more than 50%, but the company also has operations in the US, South America, Asia, and Australia. Among its brand names are Belle des Champs, Caprice des Dieux, Fine Bouche, Géramont, Saint Moret, St. Albray, Tartare, Tasmanian, and Tourtrain. North American brands include Alouette and Fleur de Lait. Bongrain makes other dairy products and gourmet foods. Founder Jean-Noël Bongrain has turned over the reins to a group that includes his two sons, Alex and Armand.
