History
Since 1968 with the launch of Camembert PRÉSIDENT, all PRÉSIDENT products accompany consumers from breakfast to dinner. The brand has evolved with lifestyle changes and introduced new products such as butter dishes and the l'Extra Fondant range. Michel Besnier was one of the first to develop the production of pasteurized milk camembert at the Domfront site in Orne, making camembert accessible to the greatest number. He was the first to venture into large-scale distribution. The brand name PRÉSIDENT is meant to be unifying, as Michel Besnier said: 'France is the country of presidents, everyone is president!'
