Three complementary strategies
Who I'd love to work with
Innovative startups
Performance nutrition, nootropic bars, functional food for your teams. Your people at their peak of energy and creativity.
Wellness hotels & resorts
The offer your guests are looking for but can't find. Living menus, living breakfasts, gourmet plant-based cuisine — for establishments that want to stand out through excellence.
Spas & Retreats
A menu of drinks and elixirs: ceremonial raw cacao, phycocyanin, lucuma lattes, fine teas. Complete expertise to turn a stay into an experience of rest and renewal.
Ambitious restaurants
Plant-based food that impresses even meat lovers. Gourmet menu, rare sourcing, superfoods integrated with finesse — a proposition that attracts a new, discerning clientele.
Ingredients you won’t find through conventional channels
I work with small, passionate growers and artisan companies — rare fruit, superfoods, Japanese pantry treasures, raw cacao. Every supplier is tasted, tested, personally chosen. A network built over ten years, impossible to find through conventional channels.
Europe’s gourmet fruit
Direct ties to Spanish farms that use no treatments and preserve their varieties: ten kinds of avocado, citrus picked at peak ripeness, exquisite mangoes all summer long.
Superfoods
Raw cacao, spirulina, lucuma, freeze-dried fruit, berries, green teas, nootropic mushrooms and plant proteins — the pillars of high-performance nutrition, at the service of your creations.
Spices & condiments
Rare and wild spices, pure or blended, floral waters, an unpasteurized Japanese pantry — miso and soy sauces, premium seaweeds, ceremonial green teas.
Dried & freeze-dried fruits
A date expert’s selection: fruit dehydrated at low temperature, freeze-dried treasures — preservation that keeps enzymes and active nutrients intact.
Fruitstock Ambassador & trusted network
Virgile is a Fruitstock ambassador, a group sourcing platform for gastronomy professionals. He guides you in discovering this gem and its network of passionate artisans — including Biovie, a specialist supplier of sprouted seeds, seaweed and fresh coconut.
Biovie
Raw food at its peak: fresh coconuts, freeze-dried fruits, fresh pollen, sprouted seeds and seaweeds.
Fruitstock
Tropical fruits from Andalusia through a buying group: gastronomic avocados, paradisiacal mangoes, and a remarkably serious plant catalogue.
Jurassic Fruit
Ultra-fresh, flavorful tropical fruits, gourmet dates, exquisite honeys, fresh coconuts and rare varieties — they also resell Ingvi. Delivery across Europe.
Ingvi
The nut specialists: raw activated nut butters, dried fruits, essential oils and hydrosols.
Arca Gourmet
The same demand for nuts, almonds above all: their supreme turrón with almond butter, honey and spices is a peak.
Rrraw
A Parisian artisan, one product taken to the extreme: raw cacao with no sugar. The chocolate revolution.
Épices Shira
Wild, gastronomic spices: peppers, saffron, vanilla, smoked spices, rose, furikake, dukkah, Indian blends and chai.
Nishikidori & le Comptoir des Poivres
One man, two passions: spices (vanilla, saffron, peppers, salts) and a vast Japanese selection — seaweeds, oils, sesame, tamari, fresh miso, condiments and dried flowers.
Workshop Issé
The finest ultra-fresh Japanese teas, a master of living sake, unpasteurized long-fermented miso and soy sauces, real fresh wasabi. Praised by Alain Ducasse — and by me!
L'Arbre à Café
Exquisite, minimally processed coffees, Demeter-certified, lightly roasted: they sharpen the mind without rattling the body.
Terroirs d'Avenir
A selection of utterly exceptional producers — the network that supplies the finest tables.
Vehgro
The king of bulk superfoods: functional and gastronomic mushrooms, freeze-dried fruit powders, Ayurvedic powders (brahmi, shatavari, ashwagandha) and a thousand treasures.

Virgile's magical way with food as a path to health and healing taught me how to nurture myself again. He gave me a new appreciation of the power of a respectfully sourced and prepared plate. Six weeks later, back amid the stress of life and deadlines, I am still eating as he showed me because it works: I'm calmer, my brain is clearer, my joints are less sore, my skin is better and I have much more energy. Meeting and learning from Virgile has been transformative.
