HOMESTALAVEN PROMOTES ARTISANAL EXPERTISE AMONG FOOD RETAILERS
For 80 years, our house has cultivated a passion for “fine food.” In the heart of our workshops, our master artisans design and craft fresh charcuterie and catering products dedicated to the most demanding professionals. Combining traditional savoir-faire with rigorous health and safety standards, we place our culinary expertise at the service of their success.
Today, Teyssier cured meats are marketed by Stalaven, exclusively supplied to the finest artisan butchers and caterers, and available to individuals through our online shop.
It all started in 1945 when Jean Stalaven took over the family-run charcuterie in Bourbriac (Northwestern France) and started offering customers a charcuterie selection, which proved to be a huge success, first in Brittany, then in the Paris area. In light of this, Jean Stalaven proceeded to invest in a small fleet of refrigerated vans.
In the 1960s, Jean Stalaven established a charcuterie workshop in Saint-Brieuc and started marketing his products throughout France to independent retailers, while promoting the charcutier trade in the region by creating a charcuterie CAP (French certificate of professional competence) with the support of the Chamber of Trades.
In the 1980s, the charcutier Jean Stalavan expanded his activities to the delicatessen market. He was the first in his trade to offer a range of delicatessen products, including salads, savoury pastries, freshly prepared dishes, etc., which enabled his clients to adapt to the new “ready meal” market trend.
In 2010, Jean Stalaven joined the Euralis Group. Together, they continued to broaden the company’s expertise with the acquisition of the dry-cured meat specialist Teyssier in 2018.
THE STORY OF A CHARCUTERIE-DELICATESSEN PIONEER LIKE NO OTHER
Stalaven designs and creates higher quality products. Our charcuterie, sausages and delicatessen recipes are produced in our various workshops (our Village Sausages are made in Perpezac Le Noir in Central France, our Teyssier dry cured hams and sausages in the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Natural Park in Southeast France, and our charcuteries and delicatessen products in Yffiniac in Brittany) by skilled butchers, charcutiers, chefs and pastry chefs.
AVAILABLE TO FOOD PROFESSIONALS
At Stalaven, we are dedicated to making high-quality products. We respect French culinary and charcuterie traditions by offering products from many different horizons, sometimes with a twist, which are always recognised for their authenticity.
Our charcuterie has received 37 medals at the Paris International Agricultural Show since 2008, including 3 medals in 2024.
Our savoury pastries are renowned for their irresistibly crispy golden-brown butter puff pastry home-made by our bakers and pastry specialists.
Our passion for good food goes hand-in-hand with our ability to adapt to market demands, with consumers seeking healthy yet delicious products: our Innovation team, comprising eight chefs, created hams with 25% less salt, dry-cured sausages with 30% less fat, as well as nitrite-free charcuterie and hams, etc.
