La Belle Iloise – Tuna in Olive Oil

La Belle Iloise is a family business on the Breton Atlantic coast in northern France, whose name is famous far beyond the borders of France for its special fish preserves. Founded in 1932 by Georges Hilliet not far from the fishing port of Quiberon, freshly caught, high-quality fish have been traditionally cleaned, deboned, and finally canned by nimble hands for over 85 years. Here, the traditional craft of the cannery, the production of fish preserves, is passed down from generation to generation and thus preserved. After all, canning is a really good way to preserve fish such as sardines, tuna, mackerel, and lobster without preservatives or artificial additives, while maintaining high quality.

Today, the founder's granddaughter, Caroline Hilliet Le Branchou, runs La Belle Iloise, which employs between 400 and 800 people depending on the season. Conserverie La Belle-Iloise has remained a family business that, as in the past, values the quality of its products and working conditions. Caroline continues it with the same philosophy and love for a good product, without sacrificing innovation, so new, creative products are developed. The many recipes make La Belle Iloise unique, whether with high-quality cold-pressed olive oil, with lemon, green pepper, olive tapenade, Bayonne ham, or in Muscadet wine, all are a delicacy and, in their beautiful, nostalgic cans, a visual delight. In addition to classic sardine cans, La belle iloise also offers fish soups and fish pâtés.
