What Maison Millas does

Maison Millas (legal entity SAS Millas) is a French artisanal charcuterie producer founded in February 1995 by the Zerouali family in Murat-sur-Vèbre, Tarn, operating from a workshop at over 800 meters altitude in the Monts de Lacaune. The company manufactures traditional French charcuterie products in-house — including dry-cured sausages, saucisson sec, coppa, IGP Lacaune-certified dry-cured hams aged 12 to 24 months, cooked charcuterie (pâté de campagne, boudin noir, tripoux, confits), fresh pork cuts, foie gras, terrines, and gift boxes — using copper-pot cooking, natural open-air drying, and a no-nitrite-additive formulation across its entire range. Raw materials are sourced exclusively from 5 local pig breeders in Tarn and Aveyron operating under the Apalhat specification (straw-raised, no antibiotics, no GMOs), providing short, traceable supply-chain control.

The business sells direct-to-consumer through an e-commerce site (charcuterie-millas.fr) with 24-hour refrigerated delivery via Chronofresh/Chronopostfood across metropolitan France, through 3 owned retail boutiques (Lacaune, Albi Marché Couvert, Moulin-Mage), through third-party marketplaces Ankorstore and PourDeBon, and through a separate B2B professional portal (pro.charcuterie-millas.fr) serving restaurants and food professionals. Pricing spans unit-priced SKUs from roughly €5 accessories to €263 for whole boneless 24-month IGP hams, with gift boxes ranging €24–169 and free delivery over €100. The company has approximately 10 employees, share capital of €8,000, no external funding, and operates as an independent private SAS with no disclosed revenue.
