Terrena Meunerie

Terrena Meunerie is the story of a group of people driven by a passion for milling. Since 1840, these men and women have been united around a shared set of principles and vision – to turn quality raw materials into healthy and delicious flours, produced in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

 

Through its link with the Terrena cooperative, which ensures traceability from farmer to consumer, Terrena Meunerie is committed to enhancing quality across the entire industry, with a constant customer focus.
