In Normandy, at the Elle & Vire dairy in France, high-quality UHT creams are made by a team specifically for pastry & cooking chefs. An expertise that goes back over 50 years.

When you arrive in front of the building, the first thing that strikes you is the scent in the air – a heady aroma that instantly reminds you of the welcoming smell of milk being heated in a saucepan. You slip in a gown, shoe covers and a cap. You open the door to the UHT lab. First, you hear the sounds: the quiet drone of the machines, the discreet hum of discussion between the employees. Then you see the lab. The huge vats that reach right up to the ceiling; the long metal pipes that snake along purposefully. The atmosphere here is peaceful and calm; everyone is perfectly in tune with their job – and not least Michel Baudry. This imposingly tall man in his white gown is the process manager of the UHT Cream Processing Facility. He is 56 years old, 32 years of which – over half his life – have been spent working at Elle & Vire. You can see that he feels completely at home here at the heart of Condé-Sur-Vire Dairy. He has spent several decades working for a department whose history boasts numerous innovations, starting with the construction of a facility producing bottled sterilized milk at the time of the development of UHT, in 1972. The Dairy’s very first long-life products were produced here, as was UHT cream, back in 1975. Having grown in step with its innovations, this dairy department is currently staffed by 170 full-time employees. Cream doesn’t wait. Freshly delivered milk even less so.

Over the years, Olitalia has achieved success in markets internationally with its high quality products. Besides being known for its dynamism and quality in producing a varied range of special olive oils, the company’s core competency in high technology production plants positions them as one of the most important companies in the Italian olive oil branch. The company pioneers the analysis of evolving markets, consumer tastes, new lifestyles and increasing demands for psychophysical wellness.

Says Fabrizio Rosso, Business Development and Export Director of Olitalia, “Our company believes in continuous research as this is the base of Olitalia’s success. Our philosophy emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and education in the universe of olive oils and balsamic vinegars. This partnership allows us to share with the chefs an avenue to gain more knowledge and information to further increase their understanding of one of the kitchen’s most basic ingredients. We look forward to sharing our insights and experiences with the chef members from Worldchefs.”

Besides oils, Olitalia offers a variety of products that includes vinegars. One of the feathers in its cap is the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.G.I.
