On a summer's day, the most important thing is to give free rein to your desires, your own rhythm, your own personality... Whether you're more of an early morning sleeper or in the mood to do your shopping, whether you linger on the beach for an impromptu aperitif or get down to the family meal to satisfy the whole table, it's all about enjoying the cicada season in your own way and savouring it!

La belle-iloise is always by your side, ready to accompany you on holiday with its iodine-filled escapades that you can simply take with you, open wherever you like, and enjoy!

At the market

Take a stroll around the stalls and aisles, basket in hand, and browse through a host of possibilities: seasonal fruit and vegetables, farmhouse cheeses, artisan bread and other specialities... Stop off at one product or another, look at it or even taste it, and fall in love!

And why not include our tasty iodised recipes in your shopping? In batches, assortments or boxes, our tasty preserves are ideal for easy-to-prepare summer meals.

Designed to be shared and to satisfy all tastes and budgets, our Fisherman's baskets, for example, are perfect for when you're back from the market. With 6, 11 or 16 recipes to choose from, there's something for everyone, from lunch to dinner!

Out and about

Take a dip and breathe in the fresh air, stop off at the bend in the path and bathe in nature... Whether you prefer to laze on the beach or take long strides along the rocks, the most important thing is to escape the daily grind and keep the pleasures of summer close to your heart!

La belle-iloise is the perfect companion for your most enjoyable outings, with its on-the-go products: tasty sandwich fillings or delicious salads, they're as easy to eat as they are practical to take with you!

For the Aperitif

An essential part of summer rituals, the aperitif is a simple way of getting together to toast and celebrate the day's activities and anecdotes... Laughter, sharing and conviviality, the joy of being together and enjoying!

An aperitif ally since 1968 - when George Hilliet invented the world's first fish spread, Sardine & Whisky Cream - la belle-iloise has been innovating year after year with new ready-to-spread recipes to help you enjoy eating well. With its twenty or so preparations rich in vegetables, seaweed or fish, all you need is a few raw vegetables and slices of bread to orchestrate a healthy and tasty aperitif!

Our new summer spread, Mussels cream with Curry, offers a variety of pleasures by inviting mussels from Pénestin to the festivities... Featuring the unique flavour of mussels from Brittany, it offers a creamy recipe with soft, harmonious notes: to have on hand for an impromptu fricti and to bring with you when you're invited!
