In December 1945, Auguste Grandin, a French farmer and mayor of Condé-sur-Vire in Normandy, created the butter-producing agricultural cooperative of the Elle & Vire valleys. This new cooperative grouped together 17 farmers.
From collecting farm-produced butter, the cooperative gradually progressed to collecting dairy cream to make pasteurised butter, as of 1948. The sale of products made in Condé-sur-Vire spread nationally, with a presence in the covered markets in Paris and the main cities of France.
In 70 years, Elle & Vire has become a great French brand of dairy products, close to its customers’ concerns.
