The Prunier workshop
In the heart of several hectares of nature, Prunier's facilities are fed by the Isle river, a tributary of the Dordogne, which draws its source from the Massif Central at an altitude of 375 metres.
Since 1993, this unique, unspoilt ecosystem has been the world renowned for exceptional French caviar, thanks to its ancient savoir-faire and unrivalled expertise.
Created long before any other breeding farm in the world, Prunier has been incorporating best practices since 1921.
