Product description

Exhibitor Profile

Alentejo, a sparsely populated region in southern Portugal, lies between the Atlantic Ocean and Spain. Both the Galega and the Cobrançosa - harvested at the right time - give an intensely fruity oil from which almond skin can be tasted. The special taste is therefore linked to the right harvest time. The oil has very little acidity, a golden yellow colour with sometimes light green.

Bonjour! We are BIO PLANÈTE

WE BELIEVE IN ORGANIC PRODUCTS – THAT’S WHY WE’VE BEEN MAKING THEM FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS.

Our range of high-quality, delicious oils and Protein-flours is the result of our experience, expertise, and carefully selected partnerships. We know each oil and flour extremely well because we manage the entire production process, from the idea to the field and finally the bottle.

Judith Moog actually wanted to become a development aid worker. Instead, while still a student of nutritional science, she took over a processing business from her father in 1989. This had grown from the organic farm “Domaine de la Planète”, established by Franz J. Moog near Carcassonne in the south-west of France five years previously to realize his vision of ecological agriculture. Shaped by the same vision, his daughter soon specialized in the natural production of organic oils before founding the BIO PLANÈTE brand and, step by step, creating Europe’s first purely organic oil mill. In 2004 she returned to Germany, where she set up a second branch of the company in Saxony. In the same year, she enlisted the support of Jérôme Stremler as a second managing director for France. Since then, the pair have led a dynamic business that spans national borders while still remaining a family-run enterprise. In this way, BIO PLANÈTE combines German quality awareness with French savoir vivre.

FROM SUNFLOWER OIL TO COCONUT OIL AND PROTEIN FLOURS

»I want to contribute to establish organic farming as the only modern and sustainable form of farming. This is my motivation.« Judith Moog

EQUAL PARTNERSHIPS

Every oil has its own unique history, heritage, and character – not least because of the individual characters behind it. These farmers have committed their skills and passion to the organic philosophy. We still work with some suppliers who have been with us since the outset. We know many of them personally, from organic farmers in our local region to Italian family businesses and small-scale farming partners in Kenya. For us, long-term partnerships mean upholding working relationships even if the situation is sometimes difficult. When coconut plantations in the Philippines were destroyed by a typhoon in 2014, for example, we had to deal with the lack of expected deliveries. However, for us there was no question of changing supplier. After all, Judith Moog – who also runs a sideline business as an organic farmer – is familiar with both sides of production.

WE LOVE ORGANIC AND PLAY FAIR

We have wonderful partnerships founded on mutual trust around the world, working on equal terms with cooperatives that do good things and do them well. We purchase our raw materials with a commitment to fair trade and support projects that improve the working and living conditions of locals for the long term. In this way, Judith Moog is still able to act on her interest in development aid to a certain extent after all.

We warmly invite you to discover the world of organic oils with us!
