Philibon
Philibon / Moissac (82 000) / Melon, Mango, Lychee, Pineapple, Passion fruit
PHILIBON is, above all, a wonderful family story that began in 1957. Claude BOYER and his wife, melon growers, set up their farm in the hamlet of PHALIPUM, the family’s ancestral home. It was whilst travelling to the West Indies in 1980 that the Boyer couple, accompanied by their sons, Joël and Jean-Marc, discovered a region and climate ideally suited to growing an exceptional melon. This marked the start of their adventure across the Atlantic. Very quickly, the reputation and recognition of this brand – which is committed to promoting fine, high-quality produce – spread across the globe. Boyer SAS prides itself on guaranteeing exceptional quality and year-round availability of its produce. All of this contributes to offering a product that is a mark of excellence for the consumer. This is precisely why ‘The taste of origin’ is the PHILIBON brand’s signature. Discover the full Philibon range here: lychee, melon, mango, Victoria pineapple and passion fruit.
