Our promise label
For those of you knowing the shipbuilding industry, the sesame is often being accredited by Veritas or another Certification and Inspection Office company.
Every product transported by Grain de Sail® proudly bears our “PROMISE LABEL,” guaranteeing its origin and adherence to our core values. This label, graphically modernized in November 2022, reflects the development of our range of products transported by sail to the United States.
Our “PROMISE LABEL” embodies Grain de Sail®’s ethos in terms of adventure, taste, and sustainability. We are committed to ensuring that each product meets the following criteria:
- Transported by the Grain de Sail Cargo Sailboat – Specially designed holds ensure consistent humidity and temperature, essential for the preservation and quality of products during transatlantic voyages. All this aims to maintain the lowest possible carbon footprint.
- Sustainable farming practices – The Grain de Sail chocolate bars transported on the cargo sailboat are all made from organic products.
- Great taste – We have selected 12 references of our chocolate bars for the American market. Whether milk chocolate or dark chocolate, each reference has been studied to meet local expectations.
- Never before available in New York City – We want you to discover our unique products. Each bite of our chocolate bars will take you on a journey at the heart of our adventure.
Decoding our “Promise Label”
The “shipped by cargo sailboat” label was designed to ensure our consumers easily understand that our products are transported by sail. We aimed for simplicity and clarity so that everyone can grasp its meaning effortlessly.
L’Avel
“Avel means wind in Breton.” Our logo combines elements of a sailboat, a compass, the stars and conveys our sense for adventure.
Our cargo sailboat
Our fleet consists of two ships. The first, a 27-meter-long sailboat, has a hold capacity of 50 tons. The second, a 52-meter-long sailboat, can carry up to 350 tons in its hold, equivalent to 240 American pallets.
“Cargo Sailboat Shipping”
A simple sentence assuring you that your wine has been fully transported thanks to the power of wind from Bretagne to the Big Apple for the lowest carbon footprint possible.
Grain de Sail
The name of our brand.
