Fany Piquée-Gravier
Creator of the "Natur'ellement Glacée" brand, Fany Piquée-Gravier has been making ice creams, among other things, since August 2020, alongside her husband, using organic milk from their farm.
She has chosen to make natural products, with no added flflavorings or flflavor enhancers. To do this, she puts her heart and soul into her business, carrying out all the tasks herself: from producing the milk used to make the cream and yoghurts in advance of the ice creams, to picking the fruit in the family orchard to make her fruit purées. The rest, she sources locally, as she does for the strawberries in her recipe.
