Maître Prunille Pruneaux d'Agen

Maître Prunille is a premier French brand specializing in dried fruits, most notably the famous Pruneaux d’Agen. These prunes are protected by a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status, ensuring they are grown and processed within the Lot-et-Garonne region of Southwest France.

The brand originated within the France Prune cooperative, which was founded in 1963 to consolidate the production of local plum growers. Today, the brand is managed by SA Maître Prunille, which remains a key player in the French agricultural landscape. The manufacturing process centers around the traditional technique of drying Ente plums to create the iconic soft texture associated with Agen prunes.

As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Cooperative France Prune, maintaining its status as an agricultural cooperative-owned entity based in France.
