You thought you had already eaten ice cream? Futé had a revelation by discovering the icy wonders made by a Corsica with infinite talent, the glacier chief Pierre Geronimi. This island in Sagone puts fire in all the palate palaces with its ice melts. Pierre Geronomi, like a tailor-made designer obsessed with textures and taste, works for the greatest names of luxury - with his famous champagne Wive Clicquot ice cream - and French gastronomy, like a certain Paul Bocuse. Intransigent with the extreme quality of the materials he works, and especially the fruit, the artisan Pierre Geronimi works as a alchemist to bring out in his ice cream and sorbets the quintessence of original flavors. If Pierre Geronimi is not crossed in Grenoble, Jean-Jacques Domard -partner and manufacturer in Seyssins- applies all recipes using the same products as the Corsican glacier. Smart crust at every tasting - there are new features all year- and promises you ecstasy whatever the perfume chosen. With ice cream and sorbets that contain about 95% of fruit from a well-defined soil - no dye, no stabilizer, no preservatives, or flavor enhancers - the decaying sorbets with unconcealed pleasure, the ice signed by Germs Onimi offers moments of happiness, both poetic and real, not missing. With a laboratory located in Seyssins, the only one on the continent stamped Geronimi, Jean-Jacques Domard proposes to come to the workshop or get his exceptional ice pots delivered.

A well-known brand. Since 1957, this family farm has been producing farm quality poultry. Chickens, guinea fowl, ducks, turkeys, capons and rabbits are raised in the open air and sold directly in the farm shop, on local markets, from Crest to Romans, from Privas to La Voulte, and at a few gourmet addresses.
