Marcel Plantin started Maison Plantin in the heart of Provence in 1930. Since it started, this family business established itself as the main supplier of truffles to the grand tables of France. In 1986, Hervé Poron took over Maison Plantin and embarked upon a programme of strong growth for the company. In particular, it now exports its know-how to other countries. Just as passionate about truffle growing and the world of truffles in general, Christopher Poron, his son, and Nicolas Rouhier, today continue his work. From the United States to Japan, not forgetting the United Arab Emirates and Singapore, from the tables of the Elysée to those of the greatest French chefs, such as Joël Robuchon, Benoît Violier and Yannick Alleno, they all use Maison Plantin to supply them with truffles and woodland mushrooms.

Company History
The essentials from 'la Maison'
Of all fresh truffles, the black truffle, tuber melanosporum in Latin: this famous truffle, also known as the "black diamond of cuisine" has, for a very long time, been the one most valued by the gastronomic world. Today, it is the foundation of the reputation enjoyed by Maison Plantin. The combination of a delicate perfume and crisp texture gives it an exceptional flavour and character.
Flagship product in the range of preserved truffles, the First Boiling Black Truffle, when properly cooked, gives off a perfume, almost as powerful as that of a fresh truffle and will delight the palate of even the most discerning.
Truffle expert since 1930
deally located in the heart of the truffle producing region close to the main truffle markets and growers, since it started in business, Maison Plantin has positioned itself as one of the main players in selecting the best truffles in France. The best truffles in Vaucluse, particularly Richerenches and Carpentras truffles are selected by Maison Plantin.
To be able to offer its high-class restaurant customers and the processing industry an even wider choice of truffles throughout the year, Maison Plantin now works in partnership with producers in Spain and Australia, for example. Handling twenty to thirty tonnes of fresh truffles a year, focussing on the most sought-after varieties, it always chooses the best tuber melanosporum truffles from around the world.

Maitre de Caviar - Care
Rigorous Traceability
Kaviari selects caviar from the farm, a long but rewarding process guaranteeing the quality. The roes selected are stored in cold rooms for an optimal preservation, before starting the maturation process. Like the finest wine, caviar needs time and this is only when the next cru has reached its potential that they pack it, following a very strict HACCP procedure in their laboratory for maximum health and safety conditions.
Each tin is labelled so every information can be available: its variety, origin, batch number, approvals, production site, selling date and ingredients. So that we can tell you the beautiful story of your caviar, whenever you want.
Delicate Work - With Specific and Precise Gestures
Everyday and for every order, the Kaviari team of professionals handles your products with care to preserve their quality. They select the best grains for you before weighing and packing your caviar, according to your wishes. Your satisfaction in our priority.
Hand-Carved Salmon
The salmon requires as much attention as the precious roes. Smoked followin ancestral traditions, Kaviari delicately slices every fish by hand, for a paper-thin quality. It is then carefully packed to ensure the finest textrue and the freshest quality. Partner Contact: www.kaviari.fr
Exclusive - Design
A Small Luxury for all moments
Kaviari has had a revolutionary impact on the traditional world of caviar by launching a new concept: the en-K de Caviar, a chic and colourful tin containing 15g of caviar including a tasting spoon to enjoy on the go or as a snack.
For more detailed information on this concept and an email version of the en-K de caviar brochure please send us an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will mail you the high-definition print via WeTransfer.
Food Trends - Sustainability
Quality and Commitment - A Question of Ethics
The caviar market has been undergoing a significant transformation over the past 10 years. Unethical overfishing techniques almost erased wild sturgeon from the surface of the earth. Now, the CITES (Convention on International Trading in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is protecting our favorite fish and regulating caviar trading worldwide by issuing licenses and fishing quotes.

Dont's miss these photos. From December to March we had a Fondue Terrasse in front of our little boutique with homemade Mountain Flower Fondue with local cheese from the regional dairy shops and our Samurai Fondue was just a delight for our customers. New, chic and powerful. Ever tried a fondue for two in a split caquelon? We had it. Although the snow and temperature did not really support our project we kept it open until the end of season. It was just a place to be - even with littel sun. Our homemade hot wine was more than just a pleasure to our guests.
