At Rouages, we have chosen to ensure total traceability of our raw materials, from the field to your warehouse. This is not a trivial decision: it guarantees our clients complete transparency regarding the origin of the ingredients we select, while ensuring strict food safety standards. More importantly, it is part of a sustainable partnership approach with our producers and suppliers.
Prioritizing French origin : a commitment to quality
We firmly believe that the quality of a food product starts with the quality of its raw materials. This is why we prioritize ingredients of French origin whenever possible, carefully selecting producers committed to responsible and sustainable agriculture.
This sourcing commitment allows us to:
• Guarantee the freshness and aromatic richness of the plants, spices, and fruits we use in our infusions.
• Reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
• Support the French agricultural economy at our scale.
Each ingredient we use is carefully chosen for its organoleptic qualities and its environmentally friendly production methods.
Sustainable partnerships : a guarantee of trust
At Rouages, we don’t just buy raw materials—we build real relationships of trust with our producers and suppliers. These long-term collaborations ensure consistent quality over time for our clients while also enabling the co-development of innovative solutions for the future.
This approach allows us to offer 100% natural, clean-label flavoring ingredients, aligned with our values and respectful of the environment.
The advantage for our clients ? A label that enhances consumer confidence, highlighting natural ingredients with total transparency.
Complete traceability: from the field to your product
Thanks to our stringent sourcing requirements, we provide full traceability of our raw materials. Each batch is precisely identified and monitored, ensuring:
• Total transparency regarding crops and production methods.
• Strict compliance with food safety standards.
• Absolute integrity of the flavoring ingredients we develop.
This commitment enables us to support our clients—whether they are industrial manufacturers, artisans, brands, or food startups—in the formulation of clean-label products that meet consumer expectations for authenticity and natural ingredients.
Valorizing co-products : an innovative and responsible approach
At Rouages, we are committed to making full use of every part of our raw materials. To combat food industry waste, we innovatively process our ingredients to extract their full aromatic richness. Here are two striking examples:
👉 Mushrooms : We use mushroom by-products to fully exploit their aromatic potential, ensuring a comprehensive and responsible use of these raw materials.
👉 Cocoa : We offer a unique solution by valorizing raw cocoa husks, which are often considered waste.
Thanks to our intense infusion expertise, these co-products become flavor-rich ingredients, opening new possibilities for the food industry while significantly reducing waste.
With Rouages, choose trusted ingredients with meaning, driven by a responsible vision of the food industry.
