A French Company Committed to Innovation and Indulgence
Based in Ruffec, in the Charente region of France, the company joined the Terra Lacta cooperative in 2026, the leading dairy cooperative in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. This integration strengthens its local roots and reinforces its commitment to promoting and enhancing the value of French milk.
With €5.4 million in revenue in 2025 and 42 employees, including dedicated R&D, quality, and marketing teams, Fromacoeur specializes in the production of premium cheese appetizers. Since its inception, the company has been committed to reinventing the aperitif experience through original, creative, and indulgent products, including cheese balls, involtini, cheese bouchons, pearls, and mini skewers
