Dairy products are a huge part of French food culture. Have you ever wondered how and where they're made? Let's go behind the scenes at a Beillevaire, a dairy producer of French butter, cheese, desserts and more in the Loire-Atlantique! We'll talk to some of the employees and learn about their jobs in France and the delicious food Beillevaire produces.

I love seeing behind the scenes videos and their butter with salt crystals will be on my list next time I'm in France :)

[@OuiInFrance]

Thank you, Kierstin! Yes, next time definitely seek out the butter. It's worth it!

[@RandShad]

I enjoyed this. You have a real talent for making these mini documentaries.

[@OuiInFrance]

Thank you very much!

[@kathy2trips]

I second that! Very well done!👍

[@lawrencebaker2318]

Thank you for this lovely tour! I think the French do an amazing job of utilizing technology and automation where possible, yet keeping hand-made what should be! It is nice that they continue with the local markets, despite being such a large company. It shows a respect for traditions, both national and corporate.

[@OuiInFrance]

I totally agree!

[@j-loosenfout67]

*@Oui In France* Bonjour, Excellent ces deux vidéos, c'est bien de mettre en avant ces producteurs qui font si consciencieusement leur travail et qui avec tant d'enthousiasme font perdurer des savoirs ancestraux tout en les modernisant. C'est vraiment gratifiant pour eux, et en même temps un régal pour nos yeux. Cdt,

[@Sayitlikitiz101]

I love Charlotte's accent! I got a big smile when she said "quand ils le voyent"!😁

[@billgreen1861]

This episode felt like a field trip from when we were in school. And I also learned new things and a few words in French. Very well done excellent and interesting subjects. Thanks, Diane.

[@carolynkidd2588]

Nice video! I can’t wait to try butter 😀

[@OuiInFrance]

Thank you. Hope you enjoy it!

[@GenialHarryGrout]

I'm drooling here. I do miss the quality of French produce

[@ln2675]

Beillevaire: une valeur sûre!!

[@foreverlearningfrench]

Bon boulot Diane. Le beurre a l'air délicieux !

[@kenromero9236]

Another great video Diane. Your production values keep growing!

[@martinm2178]

That is quite a production site. Incredible number of products. I could spend a day there sampling everything. Glad to see the second part come out. Very well done! Merci.

[@OuiInFrance]

Thanks very much! Yes, everything is SO GOOD!! Especially the desserts.

[@McDuck94]

Génial comme contenu merci Diane ! Tu te diversifies et ça marche ! Cheers from Taiwan!

[@jml4774]

We are traveling to France in April, 2022. Maybe we will stop at Beillevaire. I am amazed at the butter production. I do not think anything like this exists in the US. Another great video. Thank you :)

[@RonFennakadas]

Thanks so much for sharing. If I spoke french I would pursue a career there. So wonderful. Thanks again.

[@thedavidguy01]

Diane, I'm sorry to see that your videos in French get a lot fewer views because these 2 videos are so well made. I hope you don't give up on videos in French.

[@Bourrin4XL]

Machecoul is just 40 km away (as the crow flies) from where I live, but I have never heard about this firm. I guess I should have a look at their site and visit them next year. Looks tasty.

[@OuiInFrance]

Absolutely! Do a tour and stay for lunch. You won't be disappointed!

[@raymondmiller5098]

Another interesting vid, Diane. Thank you! You know a country is really "into" cheese when they have "portable cheese trucks"! (I've never seen such a thing here in northern California.)

[@OuiInFrance]

Yes, the market trucks are so cool, aren't they??

[@keith2366]

Quite interesting to see a company with a wide range of products but those products are pretty much made by hand.

[@OuiInFrance]

Yes, a rarity these days!

[@CallieMasters5000]

Damn, it's hard to beat anything made with good butter!

[@texicanwife]

Makes me want to come to France! But, I have to make do with visiting your channel! Thank you!

I hope so too!

Merci Diane! Thank you for this wonderful video tour, loved it! Take care now

[@OuiInFrance]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@octopigirl7]

Magnifique, Diane!!! Glad to hear this! And of course, I was able to get SOME of the words. I will listen again with subtitles. LOL. Glad you are doing this. I am very interested; Alex liked it too. We are really excited about visiting la belle France again soon-ish!

[@susanbartone1347]

Thank goodness I just ate lunch! Yum!!

[@elomoagu]

Thanks for this video! ❤️ It 's always a great time to see this kind of slow production.(I think I have seen their products in Japan).

[@Leila2023_]

such a high quality film... well done

[@christianc9894]

Don't forget our wines, especially with cheese.

[@skiski5745]

loved the video!

[@bh613]

Diane, Gluten issues with baked goods in France? Love baked good but lost 25 lbs once I went off wheat. Ideas?

[@WavyCurlyGina]

I don't have diagnosed issues like celiac, but I have a lot of stomach and intestinal issues. Eating in Paris for a week, I had zero issues. I was amazed, and we ate a lot of bread and pastries 🍀

[@barbaraoshea8639]

Great vlog, very interesting business, well done!

[@OuiInFrance]

Thanks so much!

[@NovaStar1967]

Now I need to go on a factory tour!! Do their other production sites offer the same kind of tour?

[@OuiInFrance]

Hi Lisa, I believe the tours are done only from Machecoul, the main site and the flagship location in the Loire-Atlantique.

[@barbaraliaghati6951]

Loved both videos!

[@OuiInFrance]

Yay! Thank you!

[@GoingGreenMom]

This was an interesting tour! What happens with the containers when they are finished? Do people reuse them? Recycle them? Is there a way to turn back in clean containers?

[@OuiInFrance]

Hi there, I think some people reuse them but if not, the glass can be recycled. I don't believe they have a return program.

[@elomoagu]

We like glass containers for yogurts in France, it seems more qualitative than in plastic containers (and it 's quite an habit to finish our meal with a yogurt since childhood). After using them, we recycle them at home.

[@WavyCurlyGina]

🤤🤤🤤 I miss French food so much ❤️

[@davidlericain]

Was that drone footage?

[@OuiInFrance]

Yup, I like adding it to give another perspective. You'll see some of my drone footage in my canal cruise video in Charente, organic wine making video, and other vlogs. ;-)

Même les sachets sont mignons :)

@@thedavidguy01 #teampremierdegré je pense que ce qui se rapprocherait le plus de snacking en français c'est grignoter (=to nibble, par exemple "on va juste prendre quelque chose à grignoter"). Mais cela reste très mal vu en France (et aurait plutôt une connotation péjorative) où il est très important de faire des vrais repas à heure fixe et de prendre le temps de les apprécier.

C'est vers chez moi ça.

[@priyav3900]

Bonjour, Diane! Really enjoyed watching this and the previous farm videos. Hopefully I will get to visit next time when I’m in France. Did you use a drone to shoot the outer buildings? Small request - please don’t record when driving. Just for safety reasons 😊

[@OuiInFrance]

Hi Mia, yes I put my drone in the air for that footage. Always a fun perspective to get. I'm totally with you about how it's unsafe to film while driving. I wasn't driving though and never film if I'm behind the wheel. ;-)

[@priyav3900]

@@OuiInFrance très bien! Your video shots and editing are really good. Where did you learn the basics to start? I want to document my travels but not sure where to start.

[@OuiInFrance]

@@priyav3900 Thanks very much! I watched a lot of other creators and then just got started. I kept things simple at first and practiced making videos that I never published and really threw myself into it, learning as I went. With the drone, I did really basic maneuvers at first until I felt comfortable and then branched out. I also took some classes on Skillshare. I just keep creating and improving as I go. ;-)

Have you ever made a video on how to learn genders in the French language? It was so hard to learn and I just never learned my genders.

Sorry mate, you just have to learn the gender of each noun.

[@melaniezette886]

That's why these products are so expensive

[@jrbigger]

Plastic gloves?

[@sebastiendine4834]

As far as I know wearing plastic gloves isn't mandatory in France in those factories as long as you clean correctly your hands. Probably because the food is also later baked at high temperature killing all remaining germs. Wearing gloves is indeed critical/mandatory while dealing with raw food kept uncooked such as vegetables in sandwiches.

[@jrbigger]

@@sebastiendine4834 Kind of freaked me out watching workers handle butter without gloves.

[@craigeisenbrown9723]

Came here for this comment.... even in the US gloves are not always used for food applications. GLOVES DO NOT MAKE HANDLING FOOD SAFER. READ THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN. As Americans we have to get over this unsanitary food handling habit. Washing your hands makes it sanitary.

[@michaelmullin3585]

Too wordy.
