Our business: elaborating gourmet products coming from selected chains
Maison Delpeyrat is a company specialized in the elaboration of gourmet products made from fat duck (foie gras, magret, aiguillettes, duck confit, cooked dishes, pâtés), as well as smoked salmon or trout.
The brand selects the most demanding chains in terms of quality and environmental impact, and helps maintain employment in our territories.
Mastered chains
Maison Delpeyrat relies on its fat duck chains in the South-West of France or in Vendée, with a complete control of the chain: from the birth of ducklings, to their feed produced in its own sites, from outdoor breeding to fattening.
For its fish, the House Delpeyrat selects fish farmers partners (firstly in France), on the basis of strict specifications, including breeding and feeding conditions.
The products of the Maison Delpeyrat are distributed in small, medium and large supermarkets throughout France.

Our history: 120 years of passion
In 1892, the Delmas family fished wild salmon in the Allier River in Auvergne. It was in Brioude, in the Haute-Loire, in the European salmon capital of this time, that the first Delmas fish fillets were raised.
One century later, in 1990, Pierre Delmas decided to perpetuate the know-how inherited from four generations, by creating the Saint-Ferréol Saumonerie. The first Red Label smoked salmon is signed by “Robert Delmas”.
In 2012, the Maïsadour Cooperative Group created, through its MVVH subsidiary, a new group of fish processing. MVVH acquired the processing sites of Viviers de France, the Saint-Ferréol Saumonerie and a final processing unit located in Normandy.
2015 was the year of Delmas coming back into the shops. Our fish are present in the traditional fish shop and in self-service. Seasonal recipes complete our ranges.
Our business: selecting, preparing and supplying fresh fish in france
Delmas is a company specialized in processing fresh fish. The brand selects and prepares fish raised in selected aquaculture farms, located near our workshops or at sea, in the South-West of France, the Pyrenees or in Spain. The company has more than 100 employees in France.
Our workshop of Castets (Landes) is IFS (International Featured Standard) certified. There, we mainly prepare trout, salmon or sea bass.
Delmas markets its fillets, cobblestones and fresh fish preparations in the fish department, self-service and in traditional fish shops.
