LES DEUX GOURMANDS

What LES DEUX GOURMANDS does

LES DEUX GOURMANDS is a French artisanal food producer founded in 2012 by Louis and Guillaume, operating as a SARL from Ferme Neuve in Crespières, Île-de-France, approximately 34 km from Paris. The company produces and sells artisanal biscuits (19 sweet and savoury varieties including Noisette, Chocolat, Pur Beurre, Comté AOP, and Moutarde de Meaux), single-origin raw honeys (12 varieties harvested in-house by beekeeper Antoine Hédouin, who joined in 2014), honey-based confectionery (candies, caramels, lollipops), four artisanal jams made with Gâtinais honey in partnership with Maison Andrésy, and themed gift box collections. Inputs are sourced from named French suppliers — flour from Moulins de Brasseuil (Yvelines, since 1723), butter from Isigny Sainte-Mère (Normandy), chocolate from Cacao Barry (Hardricourt), and mustard from Moutarde de Meaux — and production is conducted on-site at the farm. There is no proprietary technology platform; the business runs on a traditional artisanal production model.

The company operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and B2B go-to-market. Direct channels comprise a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront (lesdeuxgourmands.fr, with free delivery above €39/€59 thresholds and international shipping via Colissimo) and a physical farm boutique at Ferme Neuve open Tuesday to Saturday. B2B channels are managed by a dedicated four-person sales team covering independent specialty retailers, hotels and restaurants (HORECA/RHF), large national retail chains (Carrefour, Intermarché, Cora), and corporate gifting/CSE programmes with preferential pricing from 10 boxes. Pricing is unit-based pay-as-you-go: biscuits €21–€55/kg, honeys €6–€8.50 per jar, gift boxes €7.95–€39.95, and gift cards from €10. Marketing is organic — Instagram (~20K followers), Facebook, YouTube, email newsletter with a 10% first-order offer, and two annual on-farm festivals (Fête de la Plaine in June, Fête de Noël in December). Customer segments span individual consumers seeking local/artisanal French food, businesses sourcing corporate gifts, specialty retailers and large chains requiring local artisanal SKUs, and HORECA operators. The company is founder-owned, privately held, bootstrapped (€25,000 share capital, no funding rounds disclosed), and revenue/headcount figures are not publicly disclosed.

Product overview

LES DEUX GOURMANDS is an artisanal biscuit and honey producer operating since 2012 from Ferme Neuve in Crespières, Île-de-France. The core product portfolio centers on three pillars: (1) Artisanal biscuits—19 varieties split between sweet (Noisette, Chocolat, Miel, Pépites de Chocolat, Pur Beurre, Coquelicot) and savory (Mimolette, Moutarde de Meaux, Tomate & Origan, Comté AOP)—produced daily in-house; (2) Raw honeys—12 single-origin varieties (Acacia, Châtaignier, Fleurs, Forêt, Gâtinais, Printemps, Tilleul, etc.) harvested by in-house beekeeper Antoine Hédouin; and (3) Honey-based confiseries including candies, caramels, and lollipops. These are complemented by 5 artisanal jams (Fraises, Agrumes, Abricots, Cassis) made with Gâtinais honey, an exclusive chocolate cookie line, and themed gift box collections (La Saga des Biscuits, Miels, Bonbons, Confitures). The company operates as a unified platform selling direct-to-consumer via Shopify e-commerce and an on-site farm boutique, while simultaneously serving B2B channels (specialty retail, hotels/restaurants, corporate gifting, mass retail). The business model combines manufacturing (biscuit production, honey harvesting, candy making), retail (physical and online), and service (corporate customization, tasting experiences, seasonal festivals) into an integrated terroir-focused offering.
