Because every stage of cheese production contributes to the overall quality of our products, Bel keeps a close eye on all operations along our production line.
Foresight: anticipating problems
The entire production process—from selecting raw materials to preparing, manufacturing, packaging, storing and shipping products—is subject to rigorous controls. We aim to foresee problems in order to avoid potential risks.
The raw materials we use, including milk, meet requirements that exceed industry standards. More than three million litres of milk are collected every day from our suppliers, and our technical support team is on hand 24 hours a day to ensure quality at every stage.
To help optimize quality and detect even the slightest imperfections, every production batch is observed and tested by special committees at the plant as well as by outside specialists.
Together, these commitments make up our quality assurance.
We also guarantee that we can trace every step in the production and packaging process, as well as the origin of every ingredient. We call this our traceability guarantee.
Traceability plays a key role in our quality assurance:
Safety: protecting the product
A good product is one that’s properly packaged, and we’re renowned for the practical packaging of our cheeses. Not only does the packaging protect and dress the product, it also ensures that it's properly conserved and easy to handle.
Mini Babybel®, for example, comes with a wax coating that keeps the product fresh and makes it simple to carry and fun to play with.
