Aldabia

What Aldabia does

Aldabia (legal entity: SARL Aldabia) is a vertically integrated poultry farming and artisanal food production company headquartered in Ossès, in the French Basque Country (Pays Basque). The company raises slow-growing rustic poultry strains — notably Poulet Baserri and Pintade Baserri — across a network of nine farms distributed throughout the Basque Country, feeding birds on non-GMO feed largely produced on its own holdings. Production is centralized in an in-house workshop in Ossès, where poultry is processed daily and a range of prepared dishes is manufactured using traditional recipes and, for the cooked product line, low-temperature sous-vide cooking intended to preserve flavor and nutrients.

The product portfolio spans six categories: fresh raw poultry (whole birds, natural cuts, prepared cuts such as chipolatas and stuffed thighs), festive poultry for the holiday season, sous-vide low-temperature cooked dishes, traiteur/ready meals featuring Basque recipes (piperade, poulet basquaise, axoa), spreadable products (rillettes, terrines, mousse), and curated gourmet gift boxes (Elhina, Larla, Iparla) assembled with third-party local artisans. Sous-vide cooking and the use of AOP-protected Piment d'Espelette are the main production-technology differentiators. The brand has won two gold medals at the Concours Général Agricole.

Aldabia's commercial model is direct-to-consumer, with two channels: a physical boutique in Ossès open Monday through Saturday, and the aldabia.fr e-commerce website shipping across metropolitan France with free delivery above €150. Pricing is unit- or weight-based across all categories (e.g., whole Poulet Baserri at €8.60/kg, Filets de Poulet Baserri avec peau at €26.27/kg, gift boxes from €23 to €52). There is no subscription, no B2B/wholesale channel disclosed, and no institutional funding. The customer base is individual consumers (B2C), segmented horizontally by product use case (everyday cooking, convenience meals, gifting), with no named enterprise customers. Ownership is private (SARL), with no disclosed external investors.

• Fermiers du Sud-Ouest: Southwest France cooperative marketing regional poultry and farm products across multiple retail and foodservice channels; comparable in product category and terroir emphasis, but operates at broader scale and wider distribution than Aldabia.

Direct peers

• Ferme des Volonteux: Small French organic farm producing ethical poultry and prepared dishes sold direct; comparable as a small-scale, organic/ethical, short-supply-chain poultry producer with prepared-food range.
• Le Père Eugène: Périgord-based producer of farm-raised poultry (chicken, guinea fowl, duck) and prepared dishes sold direct to consumers and restaurants; comparable as a regional artisanal French poultry producer with cooked-dish extension.

• Volailles de Houdan: Heritage French poultry producer (Houdan breed) selling artisanal whole birds and prepared cuts through regional boutiques and online; closely comparable as a niche terroir-driven French poultry specialist.
• Les Fermiers de Janzé: Breton cooperative selling locally raised, label-quality chicken and poultry direct to consumers and via retail; directly comparable as a regional French poultry producer with short supply chain and quality positioning.

Others

• Stéphanie Le Quellec / La Scène (gourmet retailer reference): Premium French gourmet chef brand that sources and retails artisanal regional products including poultry; comparable as a downstream channel/partner that could distribute Basque terroir products to a high-end Parisian clientele.
