Pâturages Liégeois Chocolat

Pâturages is a cornerstone brand of the French retailer Intermarché, known for its extensive range of dairy products. This specific product, Pâturages Liégeois Chocolat, is a classic French dairy dessert consisting of a smooth chocolate cream topped with a light whipped cream (mousse). It is part of Intermarché's 'distributor-producer' model, where the retailer owns the manufacturing facilities to ensure quality and price control.

The product is manufactured at the Laiterie Saint-Père, located in Saint-Père-en-Retz, France. This dairy plant has a history dating back to 1905 and was acquired by the Groupement Les Mousquetaires (the parent company of Intermarché) to serve as their primary dairy production site. The brand emphasizes the use of 'Crème Française' (French cream) and local sourcing, typically collecting milk from farmers within a 100km radius of the production facility to support French agriculture and maintain freshness.
