Creation of Rochefontaine
The Rochefontaine company was created in 1976 by Olivier PICARD.
Its name comes from a family farm in the countryside where the family is rooted.
Rochefontaine thereby evokes its integration to the land : it was obvious for us to choose this as our brand.
Development through the years
In its early years, the company sold honey from France and then from all over the world.

Then the company decided to focus on exceptional vegetables. Rochefontaine is one of the first French brands to use glass jars, which allow to see the products: our vegetables are so beautiful that they must be shown to the consumers.
Innovating
It is decided to offer vegetables from the purest lands, with respect to ancestral know-how: Olivier Picard visits Peru, Brasil, Madagascar, to find the best vegetables to can.
Innovating is the heart of our products and farmers selection, Rochefontaine is the first in France to offer a range of asparagus, hand-picked green beans, and palm hearts in glass jars.
