Horizons International Exploration was founded in 2005 to consolidate and develop international sales for Breton manufacturers. It now represents 7 food producers in Brittany, facilitating export sales through a single contact. This allows both the manufacturers and foreign buyers to save costs while accessing a variety of high quality food products from Brittany. The companies represented produce items such as seafood, poultry, soups, wine jellies, seaweed products, and soaps made with seaweed.

1. Extremely strong of an experiment of several years at the head of an export department in
the food industry in west of France, we noted the difficulty of making us known to the
foreign purchasers: so gravitational Brittany is well known for tourism, but far from
everything as business is concerned.
Horizons International Exploration was born in 2005, to consolidate, instigate and develop
the sales out of France
The advantage is double :
The Breton manufacturer automatically widened his customers
The foreign purchaser has accessed to multiple products in only one return,
Follow up various activities with only one contact
Save costs by grouping all its shipments

5. BRITEXA
• The crepidula arrived on our Breton coasts with the American vessels during World War 2.
This shellfish is very well known in Chile, where it has been eaten in its raw state for years
as well as in Japan, in the bay of Ariake.
• Britexa, helped by a team of fishermen and scientists, worked out a revolutionary industrial
process which allows the very fine flesh to be easily removed from the shell. It has already
been selected by some of the best Star Chefs in The Michelin Guide.
• The crepidula has a iodized taste, and develops subtle flavours of mushrooms and
hazelnuts. The flesh is firm, ideally adapted to all types of cooking, its texture remaining
tender. Crepidula is rich in proteins and in essential fatty acids (omega-3)
• This shellfish can be served simply fried, or cooked in meals based on shellfish such as «
cassolette » and gratins, or served in risottos or salads…

• The vegetable oyster was a plant that grew on the French Atlantic South West coast in the
1930’s, until it nearly disappeared, because of an excessive consumption by the tourists who
discovered the first day off. A few years ago, we found some seeds that we traditionally
cultivate, without any fertilizer or pesticide.

marinated to prepare an ice cream of oyster, or a sauce…
