Beausse Salads

June 09, 2020 / Tom Moggach

Located just 40km outside of Paris, Beausse supplies salad leaves of sublime quality including niche varieties such as orach, yellow chard, purslane and salsola. The family business was established in 1974. The range expanded hugely after trials by Julien, the son of Marc Beausse, who experimented with different varieties and growing techniques - even inventing a bespoke machine to harvest baby leaves in the field.

Beausse is based in Chailly-en-Biere, a region that shares the Paris terroir and has supplied the capital for centuries.

Crops are started under cloches, which are removed once the seedlings are established. This grower only use natural and organic fertilisers. Crops are harvested to order and then hydrocooled - making these the freshest and best salads we know.
