La Belle Iloise – Canned Fish from Quiberon

La Belle Iloise is a family business on the Breton Atlantic coast in northern France, whose name is famous far beyond the borders of France for its special canned fish. Founded in 1932 by Georges Hilliet not far from the fishing port of Quiberon, high-quality freshly caught fish have been traditionally cleaned, deboned and finally canned by nimble hands for more than 85 years. Here, the traditional craft of the conserverie, the production of canned fish, is passed down from generation to generation and thus preserved. After all, canning is a really good way to preserve fish, such as sardines, tuna, mackerel and lobster, without preservatives or artificial additives, while maintaining high quality.

Today, the founder's granddaughter, Caroline Hilliet Le Branchou, heads La Belle Iloise, which employs between 400-800 people depending on the season. Conserverie La Belle-Iloise has remained a family business that, as it did then, places importance on the quality of its products and working conditions. Caroline continues it with the same philosophy and love for good products, without sacrificing innovations, thus developing new, creative products. The many recipes make La Belle Iloise unique, whether with high-quality cold-pressed olive oil, with lemon, green pepper, olive tapenade, Bayonne ham or in Muscadet wine, all are a delicacy and, in their beautiful, nostalgic cans, also a visual delight.
