Located between Madagascar and Mauritius, Reunion Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a jewel in the Indian Ocean. This small French island combines majestic volcanic peaks, waterfalls, cirques and sandy beaches, offering an explosion of emotions at every turn.
Much more than a magnificent island with a tropical climate, Réunion is a land of culinary treasures reflecting its diversity. Influences from Creole, Indian, African and Chinese culture blend harmoniously with French culinary art, creating unforgettable flavors for all the senses.
Whether you're a gourmet or simply curious about new flavors, Réunion promises a unique culinary journey, where every moment is lived with passion.
Let yourself be surprised by the products of this island brimming with emotion.
Reunion's often little-known skills are the fruit of the passionate work of dedicated craftsmen.
These local experts, busy with their daily tasks, struggle to promote their intensely flavored products. Initial successes, resulting from sales on collective "Région Réunion" pavilions at trade shows such as the Salon de l'Agriculture and SIAL in Paris, have been promising and have enabled the majority of members to industrialize.
The idea of a common brand "EMOTION INTENSE, A Taste Of Reunion Island" emerged naturally. This will enable each team member to concentrate on his or her own expertise, while sales outlets in Europe will ensure year-round sales. These relays will establish partnerships with distributors and retailers, encouraging proximity and the promotion of each member's brands and products.
Club Export Réunion, which has been helping local companies to expand internationally since 1998, is exploring new opportunities. Collaborative exporting, a development ambition for its 120 members, has taken hold.
A contract with European partners has enabled the creation of a federative project between Chambre des Métiers craftsmen and industrialists. 10 companies have been selected to develop business in Europe. This cooperation has given rise to a joint offering, bringing together companies with complementary products for delicatessens, wine shops, hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants.
