The brand

Saupiquet: a touch of modernity, taste and diversity

In life, it's the little things, the little touches, that make all the difference. All the difference.
The ‘Saupiquet touch’ is a touch of creativity and passion. For the fish, for its taste and for your enjoyment.
It's a blend of unique flavours, a drop of olive oil... It's a unique way of cooking, for nearly 150 years, with attention to detail. For a fish that's different from the others.
And so that you can always enjoy it, the ‘Saupiquet Touch’ is also a responsible and sustainable commitment, every day, on land and at sea.
Because giving things a taste is giving life a taste. Every day, thanks to a little touch.

Origins

Founded in Nantes in 1877, Arsène Saupiquet created his own cannery, specialising in sardines. Since then, the brand has distinguished itself through countless innovations, such as the first can with a key opening. The desire for innovation and flavour has always characterised the brand.

Growth

The revolutionary key opening, introduced by Saupiquet in 1889, ensured rapid growth. During World War 1, Saupiquet also focused on canned vegetables and meat. In 1990, Saupiquet refocused on its core activity, canned fish, and has since become a major player in the French canned fish market. After Saupiquet became part of Bolton in 2000, it became a globally-recognised name.

Sustainablity

A huge part of Saupiquet approach is the commitment to sustainability. Thanks to a robust process of information collection and monitoring, Saupiquet can guarantee complete traceability of tuna and mackerel products. Furthermore, in 2021 Saupiquet became the first company in the French market to achieve 100% MSC certification for its tuna in brine.

Certifications

Saupiquet is driven to meet the highest standards. That’s why the brand supports the MSC certification, currently recognized as the best international existing sustainability standard for seafood.
