La Maison du coco

What La Maison du coco does

La Maison du coco is a French privately-held SARL, founded in 2008 by a French-English family and headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, that imports, packages and distributes an organic and fair trade coconut product range into the French and UK markets. The catalogue covers coconut milk (15% fat), coconut cream (21% fat), cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, raw coconut oil, coconut water, coconut vinegar, and a bulk/ingredients line of desiccated coconut, coconut sugar and coconut flour. Production is sourced from certified farmers and processors in the Philippines and Sri Lanka, with processing methods (cold-pressing of fresh flesh, flash pasteurisation at harvest, natural fermentation of coconut water for vinegar) explicitly differentiated from commodity copra-derived alternatives. All products carry a multi-layered certification stack: Bureau Veritas organic, FairTSA fair trade, Max Havelaar France / Fairtrade label, and ECOCERT COSMOS ORGANIC for the cosmetic-grade raw coconut oil.

The business operates a dual go-to-market. Packaged SKUs (jars, cans, bottles, Tetra Pak) are sold exclusively through specialist organic food distributors in France — the company does not sell directly to consumers through its own website. A separate bulk/ingredients range (5kg bags, 5/10/20kg Bag-in-Box, 5L buckets) is sold directly to B2B professionals — caterers, restaurateurs, pastry chefs, ice cream makers, processors, soap makers and unpackaged stores — via a direct contact channel. UK enquiries are handled by a dedicated contact, and a separate UK Instagram presence indicates active but still-light cross-Channel expansion. Marketing is content-led (recipe blog, Instagram, LinkedIn) with no paid advertising or digital commerce infrastructure.

The company has approximately 10 employees, no external funding rounds, an SARL share capital of €18,000, and is entirely founder/family-owned (Frédéric Debrot, Julie Cummings-Debrot, Lucie Debrot, Rob Tattersall), with no institutional investors, no parent company and no subsidiaries.
